Well, I guess I'm a bit of an exception in the world, a computer geek with English and Film degrees. That probably explains a few things. I like to think I have a wide variety of interests rather than being fluffy.
If it seems worthwhile, I would be happy to set up an account on my machine and subscribe it to a wide variety of less geeky journals and newsletters, i.e. NYTimes, Denver Post, CNN alerts, Recipie of the Day, etc. and then sort though them taking out the trash and then ftp the mailbox somewhere every few weeks. If it is kept somewhat private, I don't really care if a few people see what CNN sends to me. Would it be more useful to weight the submissions towards the high false positives or just submit everything? Right now I'm only collecting things that are considered spam by SA. (They are also in their altered format, with the SPAM tag in the subject and the report in the header.) But let me know if this would help and where and how to send the results every few weeks. I would love to see SA and projects like it become successful because if spammers start to find that nothing is getting though anymore and isn't worth the effort anymore, then they will move on to other scams. I can dream, I guess. Either that or they will have to make their spams gibberish to get past the filters. Speaking of, I didn't see a rule that catches the URLs that have binary numbers in them, something like: http://1110101010010101010101001010110101001010010111101010100101010010101011100101010100101010 I can't think that this would ever be legitimate. You gotta wonder what less technical people think clicking on URLs that are a mile long and with all sorts of special weird characters. Hopefully as spammers get more out there to try and fool spamcop and other filtering and reporting systems, people get a little warier. A digest rule seems like a good idea too. Most of my mailing lists I get digested and formail explodes them to another folder before SA sees them, but a bunch of them would get caught otherwise.
