I'm just a little curious. There is nothing technically 'magical' about the Habeas headers. They could simply be faked. Habeas Corp says that they make use of copyright laws to pursue legal action against spammers, but many spammers hide behind abused relays and foreign ISP's beyond the reach of local laws. Am I missing something about the ability of 'Habeas' Corp to find and sue spammers? Or is this just opening a door for spammers to bypass our filtering with a 'whitelist' entry everyone knows? As a side note, in a similar vein: > While contacting Habeas support about a semi-related issue, I was informed > that spamassassin should only be testing for 'X-Habeas-SWE-3: like Habeas > SWE (tm)' Now this is kinda stupid. If the whole 'point' of Habeas is that the headers include a copyrighted work of art (the haiku) then failing to test for the lines containing that work of art would allow spammers to only fake the one header that we test for, which does not contain that art..... I'm so confoosed! :-) - Charles ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.
