What anti-spam systems? When I look around my MTA, I see no anti-spam
systems, and were I to discover that the nice people who handle my MX
when the network here is down were to have instituted any on my behalf,
I would have their guts for a Beethoven sonata.
Mark's Response:
The main internet backbone is crawling with anti-spam filter
software. All of it is based on heuristics. Heuristics is just an
automated set of rules that will identify potential targets based on given
criteria. Also, for those who handle your MX, I really don't think they
would care about your opinion unless you wanted to pay the bill for the
extra traffic.
The "main Internet backbone" cannot be crawling with anti-spam filters
since filtering is the function on the receiver's end only while the
backbone facilitates communications between end points.
