Ok, I'm getting tired of these types of messages. Habeas' business model is not SA related, so please stop posting about it here. We/SA supports any reasonable attempt to fight spam, especially if there's monetary/legal teeth associated with it which is why there is Habeas support in SA since 2.40. If they show that they're not capable of keeping the mark from being infringed on w/out consequence, the mark (and therefore the company) will become useless as everyone will ignore the mark and the company goes under. > Don't they see (surely they do, but I'm just missing the point of their > product) that all a spammer has to do is add the headers to their > messages in order to bypass all the spam trapping applications?

If a spammer uses the mark for their messages, they will be added to the infringer RBL and then get sued for copyright infringement. Meanwhile, non-spammers who have a valid license to use the mark have their messages get through filters. So far, things are working as they're supposed to. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "There's only thing worse than government full of idiots: government full of scared idiots." - http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg08444.html
