Re: [Declude.JunkMail] New test request

[Matthew Bramble]

I wouldn't consider that to be spam.  Amazon?  Travelocity? Yahoo Groups? Most of these are opt-in sources (by way of membership or purchase), and doing the bounce test that they are doing is in fact responsible use of commercial E-mail.  If you are going to monitor for failed receivers, that means that your server isn't moving and you become a static target for the lists and heuristic filters.  It's too bad that everyone doesn't do this. I'd much rather have a filter that detects no displayable text, or only searches decoded-non-HTML body text.  Testing for that stuff would be a negative weight on my system...that's the F-P type of stuff that I'm trying to solve.

You may find that you'll have to put in a counterweight everytime a user reports that they're missing mail when they sign up for a newsletter. Andrew 8) p.s. I've deliberately munged the addresses a little to make sure that our actual recpients won't get their newsletter interfered with because it was posted to a public forum.
