RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Cooperative Kill List

If the procedure is to have each admin download the list regularly, then the responsibility for the validity of the list would be on the admin.  This would not be any different than me telling everyone that a particular address (ie. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) is a spamer. I think this would be significantly different than a lookup on a list managed by someone else.  This would also allow each admin to scan the list (perhaps automated) for entries they don't feel should be on the list (ie. One admin always blacklists everything from China, but another admin wants to allow it.  The second admin could remove the China entry before using the list.)   Overall, I like the idea of a clearinghouse to publish addresses which I can use in my kill.lst.   Todd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Cooperative Kill List But what about possible legal ramifications on something like that?   I remember a discussion like this before.   How would you keep someone from adding an entry for malicious purposes?   Great idea but a hard sell.   But I would be interested.   John Tolmachoff IT Manager, Network Engineer RelianceSoft, Inc.

Among all of us.. there is enough resources and know-how that should easily let us create a database of unique entries in a kill-list.   We can gladly provide a simple interface that everyone can upload their kill list - then run a unique query on the list and output the list for all to download.  This can be a real time system where everyone can upload their kill list.   This can help us all with IMail stopping the SPAM from the base and then checking with JunkMail.   Imagine having to simply go to a link and then download a text file which is always updated of all cumulative kill lists.   Would this work?  Could this honor system help everyone?   Regards, Kami
