Re: Porn Via Email
My firewall is set to ban everything other than POP/SMTP for my mail client - the "remote load" trick is VERY common, though it does mess up some newsletters (I'd make exceptions rules for them, if I really cared).

Spamcop reporting a couple every couple of days - pill site pest - sent through a proxy (typically Korean or US cable), hosted in chinese webspace - a server level block on direct from dialup/cable pool address space mail, would nuke 99.9% of the spam, with acceptable casualties.

Content evaluation is fraught - there was a thread a while back about an NTL newsletter getting a 2x threshold spam rating in the Spampal regex filter.


PS. It was your thread, if I recall
