I generally contact the site in question and, unless they reply to me saying "we're taking care of it", the whole domain is blocked. If they bounce mail sent to abuse@domain or postmaster@domain I also block them since any ISP who doesn't care enough to have a workable way of contacting them to report problems also probably doesn't care about spam and certainly hasn't given me any way to reasonably contact them. > I did just send a note to postmaster asking if an exception to the > block on mindless.com could be made for my address. Otherwise it Sorry, it doesn't work that way since our anti-spam software blocks on a TLD basis, not per-user. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
