Maybe I'm just an ignorant e-mail postmaster. I thought that nearly all e-mail was (E)SMTP-based (LMTP excepted). If it doesn't use the SMTP protocol, it's not reaching any mailbox. HTTP is a web browser protocol. WebMail gets converted by the web server and is subsequently routed using SMTP.
I think he's talking about blog spam, which is definitely submitted over HTTP. Regards, Ken -- MailChannels: Reliable Email Delivery (TM) | http://mailchannels.com -- Suite 203, 910 Richards St. Vancouver, BC, V6B 3C1, Canada Direct: +1-604-729-1741
