OT: Error Code for Spam-Warnings

[Thomas =?ISO-8859-15?Q?G=FCttler?=]

Hi!

Off topic:

Aint there a error-code RFC for emails
which are created by spam filters?

Something like

X-Spam-detected: yes
X-Spam-scanner: ....

If there would be such a RFC, and
virus checker implement this, mailman
could delete these messages, without
sending them to list.

By the way, this would be very handy for
"Unkown User, "Mailbox full" etc, too.

The possibility of everyone implementing such an
RFC in time to do anyone any good is abysmally
low (political comment thought about, then deleted.)
In any case, the ones that would implement it are the
same ones that have figured out that most of this stuff
is from forged addresses, and have already quit sending
responses.

It isn't particularly hard to drive the number of thesse
down to the curiosity level. Just time consuming and
irritating. The number of mail robots out there that
haven't gotten clueful about forged reply addresses yet
isn't that large, they're just in widespread use.
