DKMS 0.36.05
http://freshmeat.net/releases/136464/

    DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) is a framework where device driver     source can reside outside the kernel source tree so that it is very     easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This allows Linux     vendors to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel     releases (as a stopgap before the code can make it back into the     kernel), while also taking out the guesswork for customers attempting     to recompile modules for new kernels. For veteran Linux users it also     provides some advantages since a separate framework for driver drops     will remove kernel releases as a blocking mechanism for distributing     code.

DSPAM 2.7.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/136431/

    DSPAM is a server-side anti-spam agent for Unix email servers. It     masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and effectively     filters spam using a combination of de-obfuscation techniques, token     chains, and Bayesian analysis. The result is an administratively     maintenance-free, self-learning anti-spam tool.
