What can I tell this person to do differently to avoid this? When you say it is a known address from where spam was sent (dialup) do you mean the dialup account of the original AOL user? Maybe they do send spam and I don't know it! I don't like turning things off. I would rather fix the problem. Which brings up another question. SpamAssassin is great. I have weeded out 250 spams in 4 days with virtually none getting through. So we all do this and lower the local noise greatly but the messages still come and the bandwidth and waste of resources is still there. These jerks never know it does not get to where it should. Well maybe you would say if no one gets it then no one would respond but those that don't care about filtering spam are the ones that would respond. Can we forward this junk to our US representitives or somewhere else where it is noticed?
