Arrogant bastards.Same to you! :~! I can't tell you how much spam I get from so-called feedback pages; not having seen yours, I cannot say whether it was prone to abuse or not.But seriously, SpamCop is designed specifically to minimize damage to mostly innocent bystanders; the system automatically purges sites from the SCBL after a few days of no reports. You are also conflagrating SpamCop's Blacklist (which specifically states that it should not be used to block email) and SpamCop's reporting features, which are very useful in tracking spam. I use SC to report the spam I receive as well as develop further filters on my own system.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
