I have a question which has been unanswerable by normal channels, I will po=
st it here hopefully someone else has run into it and I will not waste too =
much of anyone's time with it.
Our abuse department has been receiving e-mails daily with our feedback loo=
p with AOL about e-mails which were 'supposedly' sent about a year ago.
Does this mean that A) the message was sent almost year ago but was not rea=
d and marked as spam until today? Or b) the "abuser" is changing the date o=
n the mail server which is messing with their means of reporting it in thei=
r feedback loops? (the second one doesn't seem likely, but if it is the cas=
e we would like to kick this guy off of our network...)
(shouldn't they have some limit on how long they will allow people to repor=
t spam?)
Below is the header and part of the message we're getting from AOL...
