I hardly think that a list that you have to go through a three-step process to be put on would qualify as "spam," even if you've had difficulty getting removed (and by difficulty, I mean you made one weak attempt at unsubscription, then came in here to throw a public childish fit without asking the moderators of the list to simply remove you.)

You asked. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 7:00 PM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: I'm afraid I might have to report this list as a spam source You see, it does not allow me to unsubscribe. Some goofball running the SA list (or a server front-end for the list) decided to 100% block on incoming email to the list with the SORBS dynamic IP list (which is high false positives). Now, the problem is, and what makes this list now a spam source, is that I have no way to unsubscribe my email account that was allowed to sign up to the list months ago, but is now not worthy to post with. I am using a standard fixed IP address business class DSL (paid extra for it), as more and more small companies are doing these days. I follow all the rules, and I am not black listed for spamming anyone. Now it would seem intuitive to me that an SA list would have more trust in the SA program to tag or block spammers that to rely on a high false positive dynamic IP list for 100% blocking, but I guess maybe I expect too much from SA list these days? Maybe I got lucky setting my SA up to block nearly 100% of spam but the list owners (or someone) can't figure out how to use it. So, here is my dilemma. I can't unsubscribe from the other account (this list has it blocked as I described), and there is no alternate method presented in the emails from the list (such as a weblink to opt-out). So, I feel in all good conscience I must now report this list as a 'spam source'. If you sign up to a list that won't let you unsubscribe, isn't that one of the key indicators of spam? I know that will get you a block at most all major ISP systems these days real quick, which would probably be hard to get off of. What do others think? SA list spam source now? Thanks...
