The SIMS router can be used to reject (error or spamtrap, and other more elaborate options) incoming mail from specific domains: domain.tld = error *.domain.tld = error
The FTC provides an address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and suggests <http://www.ftc.gov/spam> and then click on "info on how to deal with spam" that spam should be forwarded to that address, to build a database of spam ... for whatever purpose they'll put it to. Hopefully prosecution of the guilty, but this /is/ government, after all. Obviously, the SIMS router could be told domain.tld = [EMAIL PROTECTED] *.domain.tld = [EMAIL PROTECTED] QUESTIONS: 1) Would this work; sending all incoming to the FTC? (yes, I suspect) 2) Would it open up any holes in spam protection? (no, I suspect) and most important 3) What are the pluses and minuses of this approach? Minus: increased bandwidth used by receiving and forwarding spam Plus: help the FTC Neutral: will they do anything useful to reduce spam? Minus: possibility of sending non-spam to FTC Your input, folks? ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
