The answer to spam here in Norway is incredibly simple. It seems that all spam originates in the US or South Korea. The following filter can thus be applied: 1. Create a white-list of all valid contacts in the US. (There is no need to create a white list for Korea, as it will be empty anyway.) 2. Do a reverse nslookup of the sender on zz.countries.nerd.dk. If the return value is 127.0.3.72 or 127.0.1.154, and the sender is not in the whitelist, flag the mail as spam. 3. Accept all other mail. Do you think spambayes can beat this filter? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
