Really? I see it all the time, often with a message body of "TAKE ME OFF THIS LIST!!!!" (because four exclamation points will convince a spammer to stop, while three just amuse the spammer). Also, typos happen. In my opinion a honeypot is great for getting data in bulk, but it still has to be manually categorized before it's fed to the RBL generator or used for bayesian learning. The big advantage of a honeypot vs user-marked spam, IMO, is that you can be positive that the honeypot did NOT sign up for an email list and then start marking it as spam in lieu of the unsubscribe button. -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com "...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!!!" -- Bill McKenna
