Wow...we have received *so* many requests from senders who are lurking on this list (and in fact have never posted, at least in the several years' worth of archives that we have).
So, a couple of things: 1. It's interesting to note how many senders are lurking here, many of whom even I have never heard. 2. Trusted Reporters is a list for those in the email receiving and anti-abuse industries. If the senders here want their own list we're happy to create and admin it. TR is a list for those reporting spam they are seeing come in, not for those monitoring to see if they are being identified as spamming*. Anne *ESPs are in their own category, because they are hosts, they are not doing the sending on their own behalf.
