the
AUP/Charter/FAQdon't mention spam other than telling us not to ask "I'm
being spammed, howcan I make it stop?" If it's flat-out offtopic, no matter what, or if themajority of list membersdon't want to talk about it on the list, why hasn't the
FAQ
been updated? Ordoes Merit just want us to try to guess what is
offtopic?
Spam represents a significant percentage of email traffic,
and its
delivery is increasingly via trojaned dsl/broadband
devices.
Even spam delivered from quasi-legitimate sources is usually an
abuse
of resources that some NSP/ISP is paying for. Discussion of functional spam control at the ISP level, I think, is absolutely on topic for a list
of
this scope. Please note, that I say 'functional'. Random complaints
would
obviously not fall into this category. Examples would include: Working enterprise-scale spam filtering (Hourly mail
volume
measured in thousands) Discussion of edge/core SMTP filtering to curtail spam
sources.
Policy discussions for handling domestic and international
spam sources. Implementation, or requests for implementation, of SPF and
similiar
controls. Inter-network cooperation for handling large scale issues. I think this last is pretty much exactly what a list like this is for, be it spam, regional power outages, BGP shenanigans, or widespread squirrel detonations. - billn
