Hi,
i am going to raise an objection against T-Mobile's Software-Patent DE
10243243 B4.
Yes, it's a german patent-application, but it try to translate it to
english:
german original:
"Verfahren zur empfängerseitigen automatischen Behandlung von
unerwünschter elektronischer Post in Kommunikationsnetzen"
my english translation:
"Process for receiver-sided automatically handling of unwanted
electronic mail in communication-networks"
So, i found at
http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-features.html that:
Since version 3:
Following SMTP 571 response to a From line, fetchmail no longer
downloads the bodies of spam messages.
Since version 2:
When forwarding mail via SMTP, fetchmail respects the 571 "spam filter"
response and discards any mail that triggers it.
To rise an objection, i need to give evidence that any publicly
available program, for example fetchmail, already implemented such a
feature before 17. October 2002.
For any help i'll be very thankful!
regards,
Jan Kechel

PS: you can get the original patent-application from:
https://publikationen.dpma.de/lst_pat_xpt.do?query=PN+%3D+DE10243243B4
(it probably works only at your second try because of the
session-management of that site)
