Re: [Asrg] define spam

These discussions (which mostly I've seen in NANAE) drive me nuts. I get spam in my account, I know its spam. More to the point I trap relay spam to thousands of people using a honeypot. I don't need any definition to check on that: it's spam. I'd be certifiably nuts if I fretted over what I trapped being spam or not.

There's a reason for everyone to use honeypots right there: you can forget worrying about the definition of spam. If you trap it then it's spam. Boom. end of discussion.* If you don't somebody else is dealing with whether or not it meets the criteria, whatever "it" is.

*OK, relay tests are an exception. It's no big deal if you mistakenly think a relay test is spam - you don't deliver it. That spammer will get dealt with some other place, some other time.
