Just a thought, what if we all have anti spam running? (Yes I have system
wide block to flood gate mailer and spam guard for my personal account.
Spam Guard works like a charm). How would we mail each other? It just
dawned on me that accounts with forms of spam guards bounce each other
then /dev/null the mail. End of communications!
This is why I don't like the firewall model of spam detection (ie "if we
don't know about it, drop it."). I'm much more inclined to figure out
ways to detect spam and deflect it, and so far I seem to be doing pretty
well.
