The newly reorganizaed Anti-Spam Research Group has set up some new
subgroups to see if we can get some work done. Our slant is sort of
applied research; it's stuff that's not ready for the standards track yet,
but isn't blue sky.
Several of the groups have a lot of operational relevance, notably abuse
reporting standards, BCP, filtering standards (eg, ways to pass around
updated filtering info in real time), and the two verify groups.
Each of these has a mailing list you can read at gmane.org. If interested
in participating, drop me a note with a sentence or two describing your
interest and I'll pass it along to the appropriate subgroup head.
The list of the subgroups is as follows
