Haiku vs Spam

Mark Cantrell was among several people who sent in a story about a company using "Haiku to Stop Spam. Essentially you use a copyrighted Haiku to tag that a message meets criteria (1 Recipient, Pre-Existing Relationship, etc) which then makes it a simple matter to filter the mail. I'm sure the spammers in China will laugh wildly as they forge the haiku. I challange comment posters to post only Haiku in this discussion ;)

Haiku in headers
Message goes through filter
Otherwise blocked.

To license haiku
Sender must certify
Email is not spam.

For an ISP
Or individual user
The license is free.

Businesses and
Bulk email senders will pay
Habeas a fee.

Clever idea
But it must be in wide use
To ever do much good.

Is there a patent
Pending or applied for
On this email tool?

You offer:

• "lynx slashdot.org --dump 2>/dev/null|grep haiku"

In syllables, it still works in Unix. Nicely done!

• lynx slashdot dot org
  dash dash dump, err to dev null,
  piped thru grep haiku

But a good haiku is a metaphor between man and nature, still crammed into the syllabic form.

• The Lynx hunts the weeds,
  ignoring all distraction,
  eyes only its prey.

problem with having
semantic meaning haiku-
transmittal can fail.

haiku is supposed
to have a season, color
and an animal.

these lines do not have
the proper prerequisites
it is not artful.

so, that just defeats
the reason one writes haiku-
makes it mockery.

int'resting to note,
it says that the mail sender
certifies the mail.

violation for
using the trademark wrongly
is a simple suit.

this will only work
if the spammer is truthful;
not hiding headers.

it's interesting,
that they specifically use
the haiku format.

possibilities
are quite endless. what next?
using sonnet form?
