Quoting David Newman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

One or more AOL subscribers is reporting posts to one of our mailing lists as spam. Every time there's a post to this list, both we and our upstream provider get a feedback report from AOL. This report provides the message-ID for the offending email, but not the recipient's address.

AOL claims I should be able to find the offended recipient(s) with just the message-ID, but I do not believe they are correct about that. grep'ing for the message-ID in maillog returns *all* of the ~250 recipients for each post.

Well, how many of those 250 use AOL email addresses?  That'll narrow
it down.

Only around 15 percent are @aol.com addresses but unfortunately AOL has other domains such as @netscape.com, @bigfoot.com, and possibly others, all of which get handled by the AOL postmaster. I don't have an exhaustive list; while it's mostly likely some user in @aol.com-land, I can't say for sure.

This is probably one way.
Another is to enable VERP for your outgoing messages, this allows
you to track the message ID to the individual user.

That sounds very promising, thanks. Trying it now...
