[FRIAM] Cybermesa's over-enthusiastic spam filter

[Tim Densmore]

Spamcop isn't our spam filter (I work in the NOC at cybermesa) - we actually 
do not use them for anything at all.  Spamcop are a third party RBL which 
many people running spam filters (spamassassin, etc) use to clear away much 
of the chaff.  We use a third party spam filtering service called postini, 
which I have personally found to be a marvelous service.  If you are 
receiving bounces that have spamcop anywhere in the subject/body, they aren't 
actually from us.  Postini rarely bounces mail - generally speaking, it 
filters spam and suspect spam into a separate area where people can sift 
through it themselves.

If you have any examples of bounces, please forward the entire message to me 
as an attachment, or simply forward the headers from the message to me, and 
I'll be happy to take a look.  If you don't feel comfortable with that, you 
can send the same things to support at cybermesa.com and explain the issue, 
referencing me as someone you've contacted about the issue.
