RE: Different kind of spam fighter

[East, Bill]

I imagine it would only be useful against ethical spammers. There is no such
thing.

Those spamming lists of "guaranteed" addresses won't remove bad addresses
because then they have fewer to sell. Plus, they don't care.

Those buying the lists generally don't care either, and/or don't know how to
remove NDRed addresses.

Those spamming other products that are illegal or dubious almost always use
invalid return addresses. The NDRs would wind up going to /dev/null or to
someone who the spammers have decided to screw over.

I'd look at another approach.

If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe
you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free
dummy.

Well I use the MAPS RBL for that but that's probably not the kind of tool
you were talking about. Works ok though.
