As for sharing spamtraps with us in general, we are shifting in a new direction lately. Rather than having systems forward spamtraps to us as we have in the past, we now have our robots go and get spamtrap data from ordinary pop3 accounts.
Hi Pete,
I'm not quite sure I understand why you're going this direction. Obviously you have your reasons, and ultimately that's your business .. but .. :)
Isn't it a whole lot more efficient for things to be forwarded directly to you the moment our systems receive them? It seems like if your systems have to probe a pop3 box ever couple of minutes or more, it just takes that much longer to replicate through the system, and that much longer to come back into our rulebase. The only logic I can come up with, is maybe your "pop bot" will stop DL'ing the message, if it's already in the rulebase, thus saving a little bandwidth? Even so, it seems like that would far be outweighed by the bandwidth it takes to pop the boxes frequently.
Either way, like I said, no my problem .. I was just a little confused when I saw that decision.
Regards,
Jonathan
