Strongly agree...
Maybe you could make it a plug in to hylafax.
No Callerid = tarpit.
Caller id not match Fax id = tarpit.
Wish you had more time... ;-)

With my tendencies it'd end up a tarpit for anybody sending me a fax
without prior arrangement. I'm the kind of joker who left my modem
online whenever I was not at home. It was not connected to anything.
But I know it got called. I didn't get any junk phone calls on the line.
It was "marked".

the window and die slimed in a tarpit.")

I "did" fax for many years incorporating civilian fax protocols into
the Magnavox UXC-7 "roll a tank over it in the morning to wake it up"
military fax machine. I also incorporated fax into the MX-3000 line of
Inmarsat-M satcom phones Magnavox had. I've been tempted more than a
few times to brush off that knowledge a little and build as close to
a facsimile tarpit as is possible. Alas, I just don't have time anymore.
(And I've grown to hate fax so much I don't even own one although I do
have "parts" that could be hooked up and used as a computer based fax.)
I figure a tarpit for unsolicited faxes would be performing a socially
good thing. Somebody ought to do it.

Re: Sorry Florida.
I'm in Florida (one of the counties hit.) At work, we've been getting far more spam than usual, however, most seems to come from the far east and Europe (by the ip's). May be just a conscience that you haven't received as much lately.

Yes, I asked SURBL a while back about this as well.

Sorry Florida.
I've noticed about at 10% decrease in spam since Florida started having all those problems with tropical weather. Anyone else notice this? I'm not trying to bash Florida, just something I noticed in the logs. It's amazing how much better you feel once you've given up hope.
