Problem we've had with OSSRC is that so many people that run open relays seem to be clueless sysadmins. In many cases their organizations are our clients' clients. Fortunately we are small enough and deal with relatively small numbers of messages that it is fairly easy to visually inspect the failed queue and choose the legitimate from the spam. Of course the sysadmins are at fault and the servers really are open relays. If you tell them then you run the risk of "killing the messenger" syndrome as the sa's don't like looking bad. Really a dilemma. H> We add "SPAM:" to the subject of spamcop failures because we have H> found spamcop to be a good but not a great test. Agreed. SPAMCOP just makes it too easy for legitimate users to end up in the database because of some malicious or ignorant user. Really it is amazing they do as well as they do given the circumstances. --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
