Cool idea :) But then we'd all be getting spammed by those test messages ;) I don't see that as a great improvement. Sex spam doesn't bother me. Another alternative is tracking down and killing the spam sources. It'd be a huge project, and maybe a little morally iffy. But as Marv says in "Sin City": "I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad." So hey. There are lots of technical folk on these tor lists. There ought to be at least a few who'd enjoy killing some spam servers. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
