Just wondering why was my e-mail thread (Hierarchical Credit-based

trying to understand so that I don't repeat it. Below is a cut and paste 
of the reported incident.

Vicky:

I'm guessing here, but it was probably because the *.rr.com addresses
originate a LOT of spam and someone has a procmail filter that
automatically refers any mail from that domain to spamcop...

Or it could be that someone didn't like what you wrote and reported it
...

        I've found that a number of people that are spamcop subscribers
report messages as spam that are not when they don't know how to
get removed from lists.

        I find this annoying and always make a note in the spamcop
ticket saying they're fools when this happens.

        I do wish that rr.com would get a different dns naming
system set up (ala comcast, using client.comcast.net or similar subdomain
that does not have MX records to help with the direct-to-server SMTP
problem I have with rr.com with spam..)
