The key is, are they double opt-in? I get several messages that I dutifully report as spam because someone has decided that they want to fake an address at my domain, and it delivers. If it's not double opt-in, it is open to abuse, and the information can be considered spam. The obvious example is the NYTimes newsletter. Someone registered with nytimes with the username of: ndwvbocjykjmt And then they start sending me their newsletter every day. That is, IMNSHO spam. There are others that are similar. I report them, you disagree, you revoke them. I'm also on the otherside with the email from rootsweb.com, that people report as spam. I simply revoke, and we let the system work. I suspect my razor rating is sufficiently high that I might cause something you consider to be a false positive, and that is regrettable. -Jot -- Jot Powers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.bofh.com/spam/ "I'm upping my standards, so up yours!" -Pat Paulsen (1927-1997), Presidential Campaign Slogan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Razor-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/razor-users
