A generous offer and an admirable effort. But if you think I or my

Even if I knew you personally, I don't think ethics or common sense

Not taking a position on this, but isn't outsourcing spam filtering
normal? Although I would think one would consider carefully about
outsourcing their e-mail filtering, I don' think common sense or
ethics have a whole lot to do with it.
Thanks Randy,
I am in the outsourced spam filtering business so this all seems natural
to me. And I look at it as win/win. I get useful data, the person
letting me use their high numbered MX record gets some spam reduction.
I'm not interested in the content of the message or anything other than
catching the IP addresses of virus infected spam bots. That's all I want
to do.
