That's a good point about any kind of scheme which aims to detect bulk mail. As far as I can see the only practical different between legitimate traffic and spam is that the recipient has opted to receive it; probably it's at the point where they make that decision that the spam detector has to be updated. That's not going to be practical any time soon, given the extremely diverse set of ways that people register for mailing lists. ttfn/rjk
