Does that mean anti-spam is a > sort of psychological task? Absolutely it is. You have to understand several pychological issues: 1. What motivates people to send spam. 2. Why people don't like receiving spam. 3. Who people want to communicate with. 4. How people interact with their mail - what's an easy spam reporting mechanism, for example. 5. How to persuade administrators and their managers to adopt sustainable* solutions. *sustainable solutions: ones with high costs for spammers, and bearable costs for the rest of us. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex 01273-873148 x3148 For new support requests, see http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/help/
