I see the same thing. At least 2/3rds are spam forwarded along as described above. I have to give some credit to AOL WRT handling that type of situation -- they're much better than MSN/Hotmail who do not have a whitelist or feedback loop and simply stop accepting mail for 12+ hours from any server that reaches a particular spam threshhold.We now refuse to forward mail that's almost certainly spam. Users may POP it, but forwarding is out.
Very good idea, given the lack of any standard way for a receiving ISP to know that the mail was forwarded. -- J.D. Falk uncertainty is only a virtue <jdfalk () cybernothing org> when you don't know the answer yet
