If you have a need to examine spam messages I have a corpus of about 30Megs with which you are free to do what ever you want.

There is nothing stopping you setting up a mailbox on your machine which I see is connected to the Paradise network by an adsl line. Paradise is going to filter _only_ those mailboxes which it hosts on their mailserver. If, and only if, I find the filtering offered by Paradise is totally unsatisfactory that is the solution I will be implementing. Spam will arrive about two seconds after your address comes into public view. :-) Miniscule web pages with the target address on half a dozen web hosters such as Angelfire and Geocities will do the trick. Couple of newsgroups for good measure. My interpretation of the original Paradise announcement is that people with addresses such as the one from which you sent the original message will not be included. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
