Interesting idea, but I'm afraid those network connections might add important delays to mail retrieval. And as a comment there suggests, black lists contain whole ISP IP ranges that do include legitimate mail servers. Spam getting thru filters is annoying, but false positives can be harmful (that's the point against death penalty). On the other hand, those who praise death penalty may find that a Black list sounds Right. I prefer filters of the leftist type ;-) [Side note] I just added a rule to filter the new "empty" spams: since Emailer doesn't allow filtering on "content is empty", I check if "content doesn't contain a space", which is very unusual in normal messages, except from friends sending just an URL or a "MooF!" or an annoying PowerPoint joke, but friends are already white-listed earlier. [Moof!] Those of you who switched to Jaguar certainly miss our beloved dogcow. Those who didn't just lost one more reason not to try. http://www.interealm.com/clarusx/ ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
