but how well does the IETF do in not producing email in response to SPAM?
Seems the IETF generates a lot of backscatter, and aside from scattering this
to individual boxes all over the Internet, it's going to scatter into various
spam traps… and that's likely to cause a listing in any services that use spam
traps. Those who implement spam traps do put filters on them, so that commonly
produced bounces don't cause listing, but it's had to deal with the many custom
bounce messages (especially ones which don't use standard headers to indicate
they are auto-generated).
Has anyone examined all the various sorts of auto-generated messages the IETF
produces to make sure they are reasonably detected as auto-generated messages?
That should be part of us doing our part to help deal with SPAM.
