OK.
Then I think it is useful to research ways to follow and summarize the
flow of mail on the entire Internet. We need to figure out how to
collect statistics from a large proportion of MTA's in a way that
doesn't grind the system to a halt. We need to work out what
statistics we want to collect, and (most important) whether or not any
of these statistics can be analyzed to distinguish spam runs from
legitimate bulk mailings.
It would be a bonus if the collected statistics preserved privacy of
senders and recipients as much as possible, and didn't require
disclosure of message bodies.
