The postmaster.rfc-ignorant.org listing policy http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/policy-postmaster.php clearly states Further, if a postmaster address contains a "redirecting auto-acknowledgement", such that it is obvious that the message will not be received by a human (as specified in the RFCs), that shall also be considered a listable offense. Auto-acks suggesting "better places" to send e-mail are certainly useful and encouraged, however, it must be clear that the e-mail that generated the auto-ack will in fact be dealt with. So, for example, BIGISP.COM could include an autoresponse that says: Thanks for contacting the postmaster; in the future you might get faster service if you send the complaint to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mail abuse issues, [EMAIL PROTECTED] for technical support issues, or [EMAIL PROTECTED] for billing issues. They could not say: Thank you for contacting bigisp.com. Please resend your question to one of the following addresses, based on the specific nature of the complaint. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The avalanche has already started, it is too Rod Dorman late for the pebbles to vote." - Ambassador Kosh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
