You have my sympathy. The registrants complain when they don't renew their domains and lose them but they don't want to receive the notices that their domain must be renewed.
It's a shame that SpamCop and other organizations like it can not be blacklisted. Don't get me wrong. I hate spam. We receive over 500 spam messages each day. I would love for them to disappear, especially the porn with full visible display of their product. I just feel that SpamCop and these other spam fighting organizations that use terrorist methods of blacklisting entire mail servers or IP ranges create more problems than the spam that they try to fight. Fight spam with laws that penalize the spammers. Don't blacklist mailservers and penalize the innocent to get the one guilty party on the mail server. And no, my delete is not worn out from deleting all these messages every day. My patience sometimes, but that is better than the tactics of blacklisting used by these organizations. Sorry but this is one area that puts me on a soap box every time I encounter problems caused by these idiots. And I mean the spam fighters as well as the spammers when I call them idiots. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Gray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 11:01 AM Subject: SpamCop > Early this morning the opensrs mail system that is used for sending OpenSRS > domain renewal notifications was > blacklisted by SpamCop. > > This has happened several times in the past specifically with SpamCop.
