I have a revised offer now, since my goal is really to test some of my
software and collect spam statistics. Yes, I want your spam!

The offer is now a POP3 mailbox (accessible over SSL) that is fully
filtered with server-side spam filters. No SMTP access. At my discretion,
I'll give you an account that is free until October 1, 2004.

This would really be ideal for you if your inbox is currently burried in
spam or viruses. I hear a lot of people complaining about how email has
become useless due to excessive trash, and I have the solution here, so I
would expect some interest (??)

Instead of fetching mail from your ISP, you would forward your regular
email address to an address at pc9.org, then pick up mail from pc9.org. You
keep on using your regular email address as you are currently.

As before, this uses
