We've considered it -- for now, the best thing to do is to manually report, which is hard work, or use spamcop.net, which at least automates a lot of the hard work. Working out *who* to report to, without falling for joe-jobs and spammer forgeries, is really quite hard -- nearly as hard as detecting spam in the first place. It's easy to do a very bad job and cause a lot of trouble for legit people. - --j. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh CVS iD8DBQE/41K2QTcbUG5Y7woRApyhAKDJ1GtEJvi0R6VGSW2xQkJpgZl5TQCg5YhL 3XSgR+Gg1glO4fFwCcfzzSk= =T1XO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
