That's assuming that spammers were running servers that would check that bit. This is a non-starter for the same reasons an "adult" bit for IPv6 addresses is a non-starter (hint - what if I don't want pr0n or investments in fraudulent fund transfers in Nigeria, or personal field engineering changes on my anatomy, but I don't mind mail about new software for my operating system?) -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
