     I dunno, seeing our mail servers deliver several thousands of spam to
people who simply don't want it and aren't technically inclined enough to
handle it themselves leads me to believe otherwise.  I'd certainly consider
some manner of stemming the tide if for no other reason than to reduce the
number of overall deliveries and reduce the clogging of the queue by bounces.
  At some point just letting it all through is less effective.


     Also I think anyone who isn't doing scanning with a virus scanner, both
inbound and outbound, after SoBig and SWEN should forcably have their server
removed from them, period.  SoBig only ended because it was designed to end.
SWEN is still hitting me for close to 200 a day that I haven't blocked.  Who
knows how many they're hitting me on the several hundred IPs I have blocked.
