Equally frustrating is when so...I feel your pain! <br /><br />Equally frustrating is when some spam comes in, and after some checking of the headers to confirm the origin and other similar research to make sure you're not about to be guilty of creating backscatter you decide to send the offending emails as attachments to abuse (at) toplevel domain (dot) com. In due course an automated notification comes in "yes we have received your email", followed shortly by another automatied notification to the effect "attachments discarded". <br /><br />In due course a message from an understandably confused person comes in, "what on earth are you talking about?" (or words to that effect).... <br /><br />Or you get an automated message telling you to report spam with the "report spam" button - trouble is the email clients I use don't have such a button! And if manually submitting spam one by one was an option we wouldn't be looking to automatically submit it. <br />D'oh!Richard V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16626812630346504535noreply@blogger.com
