<h2>Spam System Release Notes</h2>

<hr>
The spam system requires the ACS Mail service version 4.1. It is a
singleton service and should be mounted on a site node URL like
<code>/spam</code>.
<p>In order for spam to be useful, you must link to it from another
package. A good place to link to spam is from the
admin/groups/one.tcl page:
<pre>
set sql_query "select member_id as party_id
from group_member_map m
where group_id = $group_id"
ad_set_client_property spam "sql_query" $sql_query
ad_set_client_property spam "object_id" $group_id
set spam_url "[spam_base]/spam-add"
</pre>
and in the corresponding template:
<pre>
<p>
<a href="@spam_url@">Spam all members</a>
</p>
</pre>
set spam_url "[spam_base]spam-add?"
<p>If you are using ACS 4.1.x, you will probably need to patch your
<code>acs-content</code> PL/SQL package, since there is a PL/SQL
function <code>acs_content.new</code> function that doesn't return a
value. You can patch your acs-content-create.sql file using this
patch:
<pre>
diff -r1.1.1.1 -r1.2
