Yes I am making a joke. If they're so smart and understand the situation shouldn't they have blacklisted the IP that transmitted to the Automaton, as opposed to blacklisting an Automaton? Otherwise anybody who gets a Honeypot address can forge it as a sender to an invalid address on any target system to set off a 24 hour DoS blacklist against the target. Wait, isn't that exactly what the spammer did to us? So once again SpamCop provides an avenue for a DoS attack against a legitimate server because they are courageous enough to sacrifice *our* server as "acceptable collateral damage" in *their* crusade. -Kary
