That's what they say, but in many cases that's not what they do. In particular, when one of *their* users hits the spam button on a mail they requested which has the unsubscribe address in the footer, that's "gross abuse" by the subscriber. However, that's not the kind of gross abuse that a list or site admin can do anything about. Why is it being reported by the feedback loop? Can you be sure it's not a component of your host's reputation that could cause your list to be blocked at that destination? > not that you are required to unsubscribe anyone who complains about > your mail. What "required"? It's a common preference of list owners that gross abusers have their subscriptions terminated. And the threat is clear: the provider considers *their* user's misbehavior to be the fault of the *list*, otherwise there's no point in reporting "feedback". YMMV, of course, but that's the way I and many other list admins see it. As a Mailman developer, I think that if there's a sane way to help deal with this, Mailman should provide it.
