I'm not sure how else they expect a person to manually examine the mail
for a large number of spamtraps prior to submitting it in a reasonable
amount of time.  For example I received 36,762 pieces of spam yesterday on 
my spamtraps.  I really don't have enough time to donate to the cause to 
sort through all that mail.  Frankly it should all be spam anyways.  The 
domains I'm using have never had any legitimate use.  Hell they've never 
had any use expect by spammers. :)  The only valid accounts on the system 
are the standard (and in some cases required) role accounts.  Everything 
else is a spamtrap.  If mail gets sent to a spamtrap then it's spam IMHO.  
I don't see what else it could be, can you?

I've thought about dumping the spam into daily mboxs and manually calling 
ra/pyzor reporting tools.  However that makes pyzor and razor much less 
effective for everyone else.  The sooner the spam gets reported the more 
likely it is that it'll be reported as spam for everyone else.  I don't 
have the time to manually report spam every day anymore.  I'm gone for a 
week or two at a time as well.  Anything longer than a day IMHO makes the 
reporting useless since that spam run has long since past.  Correct?

I'm looking into alternatives but I'm not sure how else they expect the 
system to be useful.  Thoughts and comments are always welcomed of course.
