Another problem is the spammers that say things like "As seen on http://www.msnbc.com/"; to make their scams seem legitimate. This wouldn't be a problem from a SpamAssassin perspective - the score would be under 5 - but I'm worried that if you do set up an RBL for things like this, some misguided ISPs will start using it to dump email wholesale... As happens with every other RBL. Maybe this would be better as a DCC-type system that tracks the number of reports for a URL or phone number. -- michael moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it." -- Woody Allen ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Gadgets, caffeine, t-shirts, fun stuff. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
