Spam filters work in big part because they cause trouble for spammers. This also includes spammers who do not think they are spammers or just stupid enough to accommodate all kind of bots, viruses etc. For example somehow Gmail managed to include me in some arabic religios mailing list. There is no way I can find someone in Google to look on my weird problem. I just report every single mail from this list to SpamCop. I do this for months and like in every big company nobody cares. Just at some point when Gmail gets blocked we get similar discussion here in list and only then maybe someone in Google starts to read abuse@ mailbox. Big companies ARE ignorant unless they get real trouble where also executives feel that. Tõnu
