Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SpamCop acting up

[Matt]

I'm quite sure that they were relaying spam from zombies, however, you shouldn't be listing the world's largest ISP's mail servers in the same group as direct sources of spam.  When they list AOL's mail servers, they wind up tagging probably 99.9% or more of the E-mail coming from those servers improperly.  There's a big difference between that and a direct source. I speculated the other day that spammers relaying through ISP mail servers from zombies instead of attempting direct delivery would lead to RBL's listing legitimate servers with a higher frequency, and that sure seems to be happening.  SpamCop is a very important test, and I would imagine that with a week's work, they could correct all issues with tagging mail servers that handle over 50% of legitimate E-mail traffic in the US.  Clearly if they are still listing AOL's servers, they have made no attempt to properly address these problems. The less reliable a test is, the less value it offers. Matt Dan Geiser wrote: Matt, Did you ever consider that they tagged 2 different AOL mail servers because they were sending spam?

I don't get it. Minus one more point for SpamCop...
