I received this in my email today.  I thought a few of you might be
interested:

I run a very high volume (up to 100 messages a day) list with around
1000 members on my server, here at the home office.  I have a few
ISP's that were resetting every time a mail was coming out from my
list, or was being sent from my site (when I was trying to send them
email to find out what was going on).  My site consists of 6 pop user
accounts and about 10 lists, with only the one list that generates
that kind of traffic.  My ISP is named for my business, which is a
legit incorporated business.

I am as anti-spam as they come, but it sounds like some ISP's have
people manning the helm that are idiots.  I have never received a UCE
that was generated from someone using LISTSERV or any other list
management software, so why would ANYONE filter mail to their users
based upon list management software?

Maybe I'm wrong.  Please, someone enlighten me.
