Would it not be better if addresses that disregard the greeting delay time could add to the PB score, be blacklisted for some time duration, etc. like most of the other SMTP checks? I realize this would take much more code than what is in the current ASSP version. An even more fundamental question: is there recent data to support using a greeting delay as an anti-spam technique? The method has been around for a long time in other packages. I think it's very likely spammers have mail systems that are smart enough to wait for the greeting for some time. http://www.armory.com/~spcecdt/spamware/ indicates that a 5 second delay only blocked 4.46% of spammers. This test was done years ago, so I'm sceptical that it would have much benefit now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
