Yeah...there's a certain amount of GIGO since the scomp system relies on the lusers to decide what's spam and what's not...but that's not a serious problem. IME, AOL won't block you unless you're getting thousands of scomp complaints/day and seem to be ignoring them. A handful of bogus ones are just a few messages your abuse people can delete when they see the mail appears to not really be spam.
Well, maybe I'm spoiled. :-) Thing is, our 'abuse people' is me. I used to measure the number of mails sent to abuse@ in <10 messages/month, and most of those are misdirected for westnet.net, or west.net, or westnet.com.au or . . . take your pick. As of now the bulk of all abuse mail is scomp noise. If anything I'm afraid I'm going to miss a real problem burried in the garbage. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- chris () westnet com -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
