All of that is interesting. Thanks. I'm thinking about defining a FUZ3 checksum that would ignore text bounded by <html>...</html> and otherwise be similar to the FUZ2 checksum. When what remains of the message is too little to generate a checksum, then as with the other fuzzy checksums, no checksum would be reported to the DCC server. However, like some of the SMTP header and envelope checksums, a constant checksum for the null string would be generated for local blacklisting (or even white-listing). This would allow DCC clients (e.g. entire enterprises) or individual users at enterprises using per-user whitelists (e.g. with dccproc or the dccm per-user whitelists) to blacklist all messages without enough plaintext to generate a FUZ3 checksum. What do you think? Vernon Schryver vjs@rhyolite.com
