Jeff and the over-extreme,
I would have to agree Jeff. Seems a little extreme. We received an email
from someone claiming one of my clients had spammed them. He stated he was
going to turn us in to a blacklist. I noticed the trace he did, which he
sent and the headers went to some place in California, it wasn't even close
to being us or one of my clients. I had to exchange 5 emails to get him to
realize he was blaming the wrong people. I guess my point is, some of these
list, and accusers are very shoot first and maybe ask questions later. If I
had not responded to this other guy, or been out and my staff didn't know
how or have auth. To handle, I may have been on a list, and I wasn't even
the culprit.
