Internet AOL spam reports

I *heart* the monthly mailing list membership reminders that Mailman sends out. Why do I love them? Because they contain the full email address of the list member and what lists they belong to in the body of the email. Then when some AOLer reports it as spam, AOL includes the reported message and I open it and I remove that person from that list and ban them from joining it again. Voila, no more spam reports from that AOLer!

I just wish Mailman had a global ban option so I could ban these people from all the lists I host in one whack.

*alice hates spam but hates false reports even more*
