Thanks for the background information. I'm not a fan of the C/R
philosophy. It seems much too annoying when controlling spam can
simply be resolved by having an efficient spam filtering system. Why
place the burden of controlling one's spam on their contacts? The few
people who I've attempted to e-mail who use this method I give up on.

After reading your message, the C/R methodology appears even more
annoying than I initially thought. The fact that RiskFreeMail is
unresponsive to complaints is particularly troublesome. I can just
envision flocks of the bored setting up temporary accounts with the
sole purpose of annoying list users and moderators.

I'm glad your probes found the culprit and hope there's a way to
prevent this type of problem from surfacing again.
