[amsat-bb] Re: Confirm Message (Moderator please help??)

[Alan]

Joe,

You can use listmaint at amsat.org.  However, we are aware of the situation. From the report, "SpamCop
users have reported system as a source of spam less than 10 times in the past week." works out to
about 1 a day, or less.  Just enough to keep the blacklist in place.  That means it may be only one
computer, and SpamCop makes it impossible to locate a single user.

73s,

Alan

<-----
<www.amsat.org Whois: ISP University of California, San Diego

<169.228.66.5 listed in bl.spamcop.net (127.0.0.2)

<
<If there are no reports of ongoing objectionable email from

<Causes of listing

<*	System has sent mail to SpamCop spam traps in the past 
<week (spam traps are secret, no reports or evidence are 
<provided by SpamCop)
<*	SpamCop users have reported system as a source of spam 
<less than 10 times in the past week
<
<Additional potential problems
<(these factors do not directly result in spamcop listing)
<
<
<*	Too many delisting requests were made. Next request 
<might be allowed after 5.0 days
<
<Because of the above problems, express-delisting is not available
<
<Listing History
<In the past 20.1 days, it has been listed 6 times for a total

<Dispute Listing
<If you are the administrator of this system and you are sure

<disputes.
