Hi, I'm new to the site but have been running web sites for well over a decade. At the moment I'm working behind-the-scenes on a relatively new project designed to help eliminate spam and prevent people from clicking on links within spam when it does make it through to their inbox. It's a cool project and fun to work on...if you like you can check out the site at spamcloud.org

In any case, I'm here to get ideas for the project and hopefully collect some more spam to analyze. (If anyone has spam they want to send my way just let me know...we're currently analyzing around 600K/day and would love to get the numbers well into the millions!)

A couple points of interest are the forum guidelines (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/rules.php) and this answer guide (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=871925).

Hmm...well, I guess the irony of this then is that my previous post seems to be walking the line as to what the forum guidelines consider spam. That wasn't my intention but feel free to delete this thread if I crossed a line...I definitely don't want to contribute to the problem I'm trying to solve!
