Hello,

We (iWeb AS32613) are currently making great strides in getting out from
under the volume of reports received and getting on top of things.

How much trouble does your abuse department go to in order to obfuscate
headers when providing evidence of spamming activity regardless of if its
intentional/professional spammer activity or some kind of malware infection
allowing a third party to spam.  Especially for the pro spammers, we dont
want them list washing anything or worse yet becoming privy to spamtrap
data if the reporting party wasnt smart enough to obfuscate their own data
before sending in the report.

If you know you have pro spammers on your network, the question isn't how much to obfuscate spam complaints you receive...it's why haven't you terminated the customer(s)?

As for the rest, if the reporter wants obfuscation, it's on them to do it.
