yep, which is kinda how the whole rbl thing works (via dns lookups)...

If it were possible to create addresses that were known to receive only spam, then you could set up these servers in a bunch of domains and have them all update a central database with info on they capture.

Then you could build into James (or any server I guess) the ability to tap
this central database to dynamically update it's own spam filters.

Greetings All,


As an avid JAMES user I have decided to take up a new battle....the war on
spam.  So here is my plan, I have acquired the domain DeletedSpam.com and
plan on deploying a JAMES "Honeypot" server with the relay open.  I will
track all statistics on how much spam I delete each day, where the spam
originated etc.

Is there already code in a mailet somewhere to do the following:
--analyze an email marked as spam to pull out data elements (i.e. Subject
title, from address, and all of the "To" addresses

I plan on making a one page website that displays in real-time all of the
relevant stats on the deleted spam.

If anyone can direct me a starting point to create a plug-in for JAMES to
analyze the inbound emails prior to sending them to null, I would greatly
appreciate it.

The reason for this crazy project is:  I am the CIO of a legitimate email
marketing company and the spammers are really giving "email marketing" a
bad
name.  Plus I want to have some fun sending spam to the bit bucket.

Am I crazy? I welcome advice, suggestions etc.

Thanks,
Tom Pridham
