Hi, I checked the headers, it was not pm0.net and I checked with the customers, they had indeed signed up for these mailing lists.
So, there were 3 false positives this morning out of 40 being held. I don't even bother to HOLD for SPAMROUTING and a couple of other tests as there didn't appear to be any false positives, and I have pm0.net in the Imail kill list. I'm still HOLDing ZONEIN, but I tend to agree with Don's reasoning that if legitmate email is coming via an open relay, the sys admin for that email server needs to get with the program and lock it down. So, SPAMCOP is still suspect to me and I'm getting more false positives from it than anywhere else... But I'm doing to continue to use it with HOLD and evaluate what it is catching. Most customer reaction is very positive and anybody that wants the spam I just exempt. I'm happy on the whole with how it all is working, my level of satisfaction is rising as my understand of how is works rises. A little lack of ingorance goes a long way. ;-) (did I say that?)
