Pete,
Perfect. I will work on setting up this account for you. What email
address can I use to send over the POP info?

KJ Pete,
KJ In the past, we have been processing missed spam
KJ ourselves by asking our end customers, those who can, forward us
KJ the header and we will adjust our filters. However, I notice on
KJ the sortmonster.com website that one can forward to an address
KJ missed spam and Sniffer can make adjustments. Can you take the
KJ message in its simply forwarded state or do you need the header?
KJ What email address should we be sending these to? This would
KJ reduce the amount of processing on our side if we could automate
KJ this process. Thanks again for the aid.
The best way to do this is to set up an address on your system that we
can access with POP. We will program our robots to get the messages
and place them in our processing queues.
We have two classifications for these -- The first is clean spamtraps
-- that is, messages that were sent to invalid and harvested
addresses.
The second are usertraps --- these are messages that are either
submitted by users as spam or come from otherwise impure spamtraps
(such as long dead accounts etc...)
In both cases we like the message as close to it's original form as
possible --- but simple forwards work just fine.
When we process usertrap messages we consider them anonymously and
with a good deal of suspicion.
I don't want to give you the impression that we create rules for your
system based on these kinds of submissions, but we do create rules for
the core rulebase if they are appropriate... To the extent that some
spam reaches your system before it would otherwise reach us, your
submissions would help everyone by accelerating the speed by which we
add new rules for new campaigns.
Hope this helps,
