Well, if TI is wasting intercontinental bandwidth to send local E-mails,
well, they're asking for trouble. <G>
If you send me the headers of one of their E-mails, I can check to see
whether or not it really should be caught.

FYI, SPAMCOP doesn't block AOL servers -- they only block specific ones
that have sent spam (IE they don't say "AOL users send spam; we're blocking
AOL", they say "This specific AOL mail server is sending out spam, we're
blocking this mail server"). However, since SPAMCOP does end up listing
too many legitimate mail servers (due to their low 2%
spam-to-legitimate-mail ration cutoff), we've lowered it in the weighting
system so that the SPAMCOP test alone won't trigger the weighting
system. However, it should be a very useful test when used with the
weighting system (same with the SPAMROUTING test).
