Don't get me wrong, Matt. I do keep reporting the obviously bad stuff such as B2B spammers openly using purchased lists to many ESPs. The one you mentioned is my personal favourite too. I'm quite sure if you ask the average ESP abuse desk person about their opinion on me they are damn sure going to have one. Not saying what it's going to be like, but indifferent or "who's that?" it won't be. I am only saying that if bounce processing worked anywhere near as well as anybody would have the audience believe, we would not have a business. Spamtraps would not get any mail, or too little to matter. The business case would quite simply not exist. I'm not calling ESPs bad actors. I am thanking them for continuing to give me something to work with. I believe I did already in my first message in this thread. I am genuinely thankful for being able to sell the information that they should not even be generating back to them.
