More than ~85% of all spam is being generated by spambots.

yes, that relates to my question how though? I asked: "Do spammers monitor the domain system in order to spam from the domains in flux as tastinng domains?" I asked this specifically because that behavior was being used as a 'resaon to stop tasting', or to clamp down on it atleast.

The answer to your question is "Yes, sometimes." But that's not the explicit reasoning behind the motivations behind tasting.

Conflating the 3 (or parts of the 2 sets) is just as wrong as saying that 'tasting lets the terrorists win'.

Completely agree, and would not want to paint this problem in that light. Again, this problem is multi-fold: bad actors gaming the system for illicit (and illegal) purposes. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.2 (Build 2014) wj8DBQFGwqFfq1pz9mNUZTMRAm59AKD2iwDGNA+hBOu7RPNunp16PvC+AQCcD67x k31lq1G9F6wqjIkbqELucto= =RtK2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
