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

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.
