Interesting that the "abuse address(es)" can sometimes be traced to 2, 3, sometimes 4 different domains.

Odd, that. :-)

Thx,
D.

I was wondering about that since the site states that it accurately identifies the ISP that sent the spam.

Hello...

I've been getting a steady stream of automated emails generated by [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]
(www.hendricom.com) accusing my server of allowing spam. The IP and domains
in the spam headers do not point to my domain and nothing in my logs
indicates the messages went through my server.

Is anyone else seeing these? I'll be contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED] directly, but 
thought
I'd find out if anyone else is getting these false positives.

Here's the text of on automated reply. I've snipped the included spam
message, and included the [EMAIL PROTECTED] footer:

Thank you,
D.
