Whilst writing my last message I just had a thought. The collection of SPAM statistics is about as accurate and consistent as people making guesses. I know that my server reject 10's of thousands of SMTP requests each day. I know that my TMDA for my own mail box pends over 2500 a week dumping probably all of them after seven days. I know my mail client filters an additional 50 a day that get through all of that. I know I have to "junk" an additional 30-50 a day that get through all of that! With so many TMDA sights installed, I'm just wondering if a module or feature can be added to TMDA to perhaps collect statistics that can then be sent, by choice, to a TMDA database? The fight against SPAM is heavily user based. Australia has some of the first SPAM laws in the world that have actually resulted in prosecution. Recently tried on a Western Australia guy and his company, successfully. But most spam comes from stealth mailers and trojan machines. You can't really prosecute a person for installing windows on their laptop at home, having a DSL connection and being hacked by a work or trojan. ISPs can't really be made responsible either. Although more should offer TMDA as a solution to minimizing SPAM. (I hear from "users" who complain they get over 100 spams a day to their 5-10 person messages. You'd think they'd change ISP! Or at least e-mail provider.) Anyway, if anyone is interested in this idea, voice up and lets see if we can work out an easy way to do it. I'm happy to offer a delivery point and virtual web server, although there may be others out there with better resources than me, especially as I'm in a process of multiple relocations now.
