There might be some of that. However, I have seen conversations. (Nested RE:'s) come back in our feedback loop. And I have thought MANY times that some of these people simple use the "Report as spam" vs "delete". Maybe it removes them faster? I have never used AOL but maybe they need to work o

Great story, we did email for a local school district. Little Johnny would come home from school and check email first so that he could mark his teacher's disciplinary messages as spam before Mom and Dad and came home. We would just forward off the reports to the Sys Admin to deal with, the a

On the other hand, when I've had actual compromised accounts that start spamming, AOL's SCOMPs have always been the first external report, so I actually find them quite useful. Only once did they notice a problem before I did (or my systems) found and plugged the hole, but still, it's nice to

This is were I wish there was some standardization of bounce messages. If email server operators could receive reports of X number of bounces reliably it may cut down on the number of compromised accounts considerably, by scripting some sort of shutdown of the account. At the current state it

Be prepared for a reality where nearly all of the SCOMP reports you will ever get are false positives generated by careless, ignorant, clueless AOL users. I've had a feedback loop there since March 2004, and easily, *easily*, well over 99% of the reports I've ever gotten were from people on maili
