SeeYouLater purpose is to fetch a list of IP or known spammers and to ban them by putting them in /etc/hosts.deny.

/etc/hosts.deny is usually read by xinetd or daemons using tcpwrapper.

The software is composed of:

• the feeder, that looks at SMTP daemon logs for the string ++BAN:IP++ and feeds the database accordindly
