When you enable Full Personalization on Mailman, it will generate a unique message for each and every recipient, with a unique message-id. If that message-id is not obscured by the Feedback Loop, then you can tell which user is at fault. For a while, they did not redact the footers that were included in the message sent back, so you could personalize the footers and that would give you an alternate place to look. I was the first Internet Mail Operations person ever hired by AOL and I was responsible for implementing the anti-spam measures that we had in place to prevent spam from getting onto the system, but regretfully the group that handles spam reports from AOL users is done by a different department. Back when David O'Donnell was running that shop, they did a really good job. But things have gone way down hill ever since. I have long since gone past the point where I consider them to be a complete write-off, despite the fact that even my own wife still uses AOL. -- Brad Knowles <b...@shub-internet.org> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
