There are a few bulk-mailer fora I've heard of; one web-based one in particular linked to SpamAssassin.org in a quite well-read article, about 6 months ago, so it showed up strongly in the referrer logs (cf. http://jmason.org/logs/current/spamassassin.taint.org/ ). I couldn't read the article though, as I didn't have a login to get by their auth system. Most of them are password-protected it seems. These things all seem to go on in hidden or password-protected fora -- for obvious reasons. It would be interesting to have a "mole" on our side; especially to get hold of some ratware for analysis... --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
