The SCOMP messages are part of your feedback loop from AOL. This is not directly related to the DMARC brokenness that they and Y! introduced a few months ago. Whenever an AOL user clicks the "Report as spam" button on email, a copy of the email is sent to the address that you configured for your feedback loop, addressed from SCOMP@AOL. The purpose of this is to give you an early warning of any spammers inhabiting your IP space, so that you can take action. However.... Either the AOL user interface is confusing and the "Delete" and "Report as spam" buttons are easily confused, or the reading comprehension and intelligence of AOL users as a group is miniscule, or both. We see LOTS of reported spam from AOL users that is clearly transactional and often rather personal in nature, clearly not spam. > Is it automated or are my subscribers "indicating" that messages coming > from my mail list are SPAM. It is triggered by the recipient flagging that particular message as spam. I would suspect that these reports are also likely tied to an internal AOL algorithm that will filter or reject email should some threshold be exceeded likely based on source IP, content, etc. So far to the best of my knowledge we haven't run into this despite numerous SCOMP reports (close to 100% user error based on reading the reports). -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - [email protected] Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] http://chilli.nosignal.org/mailman/listinfo/mailop
