Hi all,
You know Chuck, that works great. But what if your signal to noise ratio
is much lower than that? When I checked my personal account's mail this
morning, I downloaded 48 messages. 44 were spam.
At least, 44 got deleted as spam -- there have been other occasions where
I've caught myself deleting valid messages that due to friends having
wierd hotmail addresses and using a spam-like subject line, they fall
through the manual filter crack, so there could have been something in
there
Believe me, I'm at the point where paying SpamCop may not be a bad idea,
but due to the amount of spam I get, it would get extremely expensive.
I like the idea of what the RBL Multihop eBGP4 feed does -- effectively
making the spam-friendly networks disappear off the Internet. If only
there wasn't that pesky liability issue. Oops! There isn't! Our
policy/contract states that we have a right to limit or remove offending
material, and if we make a mistake in doing so we have no liability.
Aren't policy statements great?
