I always thought it would make a lot of sense to have an Internal SpamCop address.
An address that we can use in Declude so any e-mail that is sent to that address is automatically added to a blacklist address for background deletion. If such addresses is then easily advertised on a couple of sites that are willing to give you a million dollars or add to your anatomical parts then effectively we can have a preemptive notice easily. Since the address is not used elsewhere there is no way a legitimate email comes to it. This can be a very fast and almost no CPU processing system & be called SPAMTrap Regards, Kami -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Madscientist Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 11:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Fighting the Menace of Unwanted E-Mail I guess that makes sense. We've got a few accounts like that out there - we set them up, forward them into our system for evaluation, and never use them for anything else... but there's a definite 'color' to the content - meaning the spam we get there is skewed to a specifi strange attractor - all based on the marketing. I'm working on formulating a methodology for setting up spamtraps and tuning them for specific kinds of spam - without opening them to any legitimate email. It's harder than it looks, and takes a lot of time - there's just no rushing it... so far anyway. --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
