Actually, it is somewhat easier for them. I have it on good authority that the mail admin at AOL gets regular detailed traces from SPAM-L and other private sources. Many of the SPAM complaints not only come with detailed headers, but traceroutes as well. NetCom also benefits from their users in this way. All that is required is to verify the analysis as being valid, check the logs, and move on from there.
Since the abuse folks have to verify that the analysis is valid, why even include the analysis? Personally, when dealing with complaints, I tend to ignore all "analysis" and other text except the forwarded message itself unless I'm at a loss as to figure out why it was sent to my abuse department. I've spoken to a number of other abuse leads who feel the same way. -- J.D. Falk <jdfalk () cp net> "Nathan says hi." Special Agent In Charge (Abuse Issues) Critical Path, Inc.
