If there was mechanism comparing number of reports to number of mails received, my proposal would have the opposite result - it would lower the reports/total rate. But since there's none, I had the idea if we can push the count towards the expected result.

I'm not discussing the ways to measure whether mail is spam, but ways to measure whether it's bulk. My proposal was to count mail to one non-existent address as two or more mails to one existent address. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [email protected] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
