Our current policy is to ask anyone who will be providing any significant submissions to use the pop3 method. We will probably always have the ability to accept spam at out spam@ submission address. The only instructions are that if you want to provide us with spam samples from user submissions or from your own spamtraps, please: 1. Set up a pop3 account on your system that our Trapbots can access. 2. Provide us with the email address (login info), password, and the host name of the pop3 server. 3. Tell us how the messages arrive at this address. For example, if you can provide "clean" spamtrap data that is purely from harvested email addresses then we would like to keep that separate from spam that is submitted by users or perhaps derived in some other way. When in doubt it is always ok to submit spam to our spam@ address. We probably won't make any kind of official announcement about this for a while since things are working fine. Over time, however we will begin to reference the pop3 method more and more and we will continue to answer new queries about submitting spam with the suggestion to set up a pop3 account.
