I purposefully did not mention spamcop in my email because for me spamcop did not reduce spam. If it is anything, my spam volumes increased after I started reporting to spamcop. But since there is no way to prove this, it is at best an allegation against spamcop. While the concept behind spamcop is sound, it is not very efficient in removing spam from your Inboxes unless you use the spamcop's DNSBL to reject the spam messages. But if you do this, there will be lot of false positives and you risk not getting legitimate messages. Moreover, according to spamcop's policies, you should not report spam from debian mailing lists (or any mailing lists you intentionally subscribed to) or spam from bugs.debian.org unless you are administrator of these lists. So it is pretty much useless in my case as almost all the spam I receive is from mailing lists. On a related note, spam mails sent to mailing lists are perfectly acceptable to knujon. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Free pop3 email with a spam filter. http://www.bluebottle.com/tag/5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
