Re: SpamCop and false positives from Yahoo

Excuse the top post, on a blackberry. They have a list/newsgroup where you can email the 'deputies'. If it is still the way they used to be run, they aren't really false positives. Those servers really are sending spam. I think all listings are automatically removed after a few days or so.

Sorry for top posting, on a bberry. So, you would say someone can send me a letter in the mail with the condition I am only allowed to read it one time? I call BS too. The movie example is completely different. The purchase of a ticket is an agreement to watch the movie one time. No agreement
