I have several catch-all domains that have been dictionary spammed with no use, ever, of all the addresses but like, one. On the same note, dayjob has several addresses, like the codesign@ and pgpkey@ addresses which are tied to things, and go to a mailbox, but that nobody will EVER subscribe to a list. I also see a fair volume of trafic to various noreplys at, that I am pretty sure are NOT non-delivery notifications. I would love a way to give those addresses (in a hashed form) to ESPs saying "Look, if somsone is sending to those, it's a bogus list and does not pass muster, and you should reject the customer". I'd love a way to put those addresses in the DNS as a similar flag. "Do not allow this address to be added to any mailing lists, promotional marketing, or @##$*&#ing google groups, period. Attempts to do so are suspect". -Dan _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
