Sheesh. Lighten up on the energy drinks. It's just a dumb little quiz, and it actually taught a thing or two by offering a glimpse of some of the dodges spammers can use to get through filters.
no energy drinks, lots of coffee though :) just tired of all the tech b*llsh1t though. anyone filtering for incoming spam, based on incoming email adress or reply to email address is well & truly f*cked. anyone filtering for outgoing spam based on outgoing email address or from: is similarly screwed. even allocating a spam score based on any email address is just tech ignorant. any email server admin should REJECT any non existent email address whether incoming or outgoing. and, just while on the topic of STUPID - filtering based on domain name or email is just dumb. imnsho, of course an ymmv Andre
