1. TMDA challenges the envelope sender, not From or Reply-To. 2. Can you show that most of your spam has live addresses? I looked into this question a few months ago. Look at what I found: http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-users/2004-02/msg00541.html (Long story short, about 30% of my challenges were delivered, not "most.") >Thus, you have the situation of the spammer spewing out his garbage of 100,000 >emails, each with the "joe-jobbed" email address, and then that person >getting back 100,000 replies (in your perfect world where everybody runs >challenge/response). Bogus. Nyuck nyuck nyuck! In the perfect world, where everybody runs challenge/response, the bogus challenges wouldn't reach the bogus recipients! I get them daily, but they don't make it to my mailbox. >Also, re: FAQ,number 1.13: [...] If Spamcop has silly policies, lets take them out of the FAQ. Personally, I just blacklist the address. The FAQ says, "This happens so rarely, that I tend to ignore it." I have to agree. >Just some thoughts. Thanks! - -- Kyle Hasselbacher Line noise?
