The majority of our spam complaints fall in that category. However Amazon (and some of our previous mail partners) do in fact send us a notification of the spam complaint. Though I'm sure many ISPs don't do this, I've seen reports from the major ISPs. I don't get these reports when I send emails through my own infrastructure - they're more likely just to block me. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
