I've seen that "sort-by" offering on a "10-bazillion addys on cd" spam... darn thoughtful, I'd say. Identical mssgs aren't something that's monitored, methinks, or they would kill spam in its tracks. ummm.. doesn't yahoo-mail come pretty close ? the process shouldn't be much different than virus-checking. Dictionary: To my thinking, an "alphabet-soup @ list-of-isp-dot-com", no? of course, not always. ymmd.
