But that's just it; we do NOT send any replies to spammers. We never have, and never will. The original message that started this whole thing was sent to an address that does not exist on our system -- it was a standard iMail bounce, because [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not an alias OR a mailbox on our server -- it simply does not exist at all.

That is pretty close to what happened. However, there was no joe-job. A joe-job is when spammer A sends an E-mail to user B using the return address of user C (who is unrelated to user B). With a joe-job, you get the bounces. But what happened here is that someone sent you spam, and apparently you incorrectly set up your anti-spam software to bounce the E-mail. That justifies a listing in SPAMCOP, and a complaint from your Internet provider, since you forced the complainer to deal with the spam so that you would not have to. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
