Sure... if all they do is provide cash such that the spamcop services provides don't go down due to lack of funding, that will be a good thing.
If they also take over some of the operations, then Matt would get his wish and they could afford to put in place some filters to make their service less volatile regarding legitimate mail runs. Speaking of operations, I don't mind the current level of SpamCop's transparency of operations (uhh, opacity), but a single programmer who is also the network manager, ops manager, chief cook and bottle washer, has been a bad thing... Julian makes continual changes, which means that the functionality is continually evolving and continually breaking too. SpamCop has been worth every penny, but in order to grow up, SpamCop needs to be more consistent. An excellent counter-example has been the lean declude.com operations; when something changes with my JunkMail, I know it's been self-inflicted! I wonder whether Julian is tired of the struggle, or just wants to pursue his antispam interest while getting a paycheque, or maybe IronPort Systems just made him an offer too good to refuse? --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
