You are suggesting a list, for people to post spam samples they received, but don't care to have actual senders of marketing mail, or their overlords (ESPs) on the list to try and remediate the problems people are reporting. So the purpose of the list is just for people to complain about spam they get but not get anything done about it? Or maybe for various mail admins to tell other mail admins who the bad guys are to watch out for? Sorry, Just trying to clarify to understand intended purpose. Most of the posts I've seen in Mailop and before on Zorch (and like 100 other lists) were along the lines of "I just got spam from X, anyone know if they are good or bad?" Most of the time the answer was, "ya sure, bob from X is on the list" > *ESPs are in their own category, because they are hosts, they are not > doing the sending on their own behalf.

We tend to refer to ourselves as "senders" (heck, the name of the committee at M3AAWG that is full of ESPs is called the "Senders Committee"), since we managed a LOT of the folks sending marketing mail out there. -Tara
