:"equipment which has the capacity to transcribe text or
:images (or both) from an electronic signal received over a regular telephone
:line onto paper."
Sounds like a computer to me, but oh well...
:I think a better solution is a robot (perhaps agent is a better term) which
:automatically replies to new addresses (or user registered domains) with a
:delivery query. If the agent receives a NDN, the message is filtered
:(auto-discarded) by the agent before the user reads it; alternatively, the
:message could be directed to a "questionable" folder for manual purging.
Yeah, great, but I already use procmail to sort my mail, I guess I could
come up with something that takes an email, strips the 'from' field and
trys to send them some mail. I could get procmail to do this to any mail
that doesn't fit into my lists or addressbook...but...the real problem as
I see it is having some 'intelligence' or 'discrimination' capability.
Think on this one for a bit, someone who knows me irl gets my email
address. They have changed their e-mail address to stop spamming from
e-vertisements, my program attempts to query them and discards the message
because my automated e-mail 'Un-Junker' is foiled by his method of junk
avoidance...comments?
