I've been thinking about the various definitions of "spam" and thought of another criteria which isn't necessarily mutually exclusive but captures something important: Spam is e-mail from a source which is hard to impossible for the recipient to stop and/or reasonably prevent from receiving. I think the loss of control is very much at the heart of spam and many other attempts at definition dance around this somewhat. We could add the usual unwanted, unauthorized qualifications to that (I may not want to hear from my sysadmin but s/he's authorized, etc.) but it would just make this note much longer and I think it's enough to toss out the basic idea. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989 *oo* _______________________________________________ Asrg mailing list Asrg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/asrg
