I couldn't agree more. The issue is not one of not wanting to prevent spam, it's an issue of what the definition of 'spam' is. It's like the old saying that one man's trash is another one's treasure. As was pointed out in a previous post, just because one person defines mail from Brazil as spam deosn't mean that I do. I norder to have a truly effective solution for spam it needs to be able to take those differences into consideration so different people are allowed to use their own definitions. The idea posted previously about using a server's outgoing mail to define your whitelist is the only propsed solution I've heard so far on how this can effectively be done. Are there any others out there? >...some of the apparent bullying and end-justifies-the-means >posturing by blacklisters may be eroding their heretofore exclusive claim >on the territory. And with it, the credibility of the entire cause of developing a good method for erradicating spam. _______________________________________________ spamcon-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.spamcon.org/mailman/listinfo/spamcon-general#subscribers Subscribe, unsubscribe, etc: Use the URL above or send "help" in body of message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact administrator: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
