The following is a summary of responses... For: 5 Against: 1 One lady belongs to an amateur radio discussion group, and was against the test, as it would block a goodly chunk of mail from the list. One of the gentlemen for the test pointed out that he had recently conversed with a group of folks using one of these tld's, giving them some Linux help off-list. Nevertheless, he was for the test, as long as the default score was 0. Those for the test suggested modifications: * Default score = 0 * Separate tests for each tld (so that score for each tld can be controlled) * "They should add russion .ru to this list." One notable comment follows: YES! When it comes to nuking spam, I say "Screw 'politically correct' with a nail-studded baseball bat doused in battery acid. JUST DO IT!" Personally, if such a test gets added, I will, IMMEDIATELY after learning about it, add a "score FROM_SPAMLAND 1000.0" line to my prefs to absolutely guarantee I never hear from them again. . . Not once in my 'net life have I seen a non-spam message from ANY of the domains showing in the test as listed in your post. "Kill 'em all and let /dev/null sort 'em out!", sez I. While most people were not as vociferous in their support of the test, the message seems to be that some inspection of tld's would be appreciated. -Scott _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
