I am in the feedback loop and we immediately remove people who report us as spam. Actually just about everyone that we remove asks to be subscribed again and say it was an accident. (It is an important medical newsletter to doctors that they all need to read). From now on, we are banning them for life. The hotmail people told me that we need to stay under .3% complaints.. which means if I send 2,000 and 6 complain, I am a spammer. What happens is that someone doesn't read their email for a while, comes in and sees 10 issues (we send one a day), and reports all 10 as spam and kills us.
