The definition of "punishment" entirely depends on what you do with the catch. > Wrong excuse: "the address refused 5xx for years". It's in the M3AAWG Spamtrap BCP, though. And no, I didn't write it. > Honest people might not know that. Not everybody sends emails monthly. If folks collect email lists just to have them and not to use them and then dig them out 20 years later with currency signs flashing in their eyes, they should know better. > Spammers try to send to message-ids (harvested from HDD of trojaned PCs). > Those are good spamtraps. You still have to have the domain that receives them though. -- Atro Tossavainen, Founder, Partner Koli-Lõks OÜ (reg. no. 12815457, VAT ID EE101811635) Tallinn, Estonia tel. +372-5883-4269, https://www.koliloks.eu/ _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
