But I wish to point out that it is an admin problem, and the end user should not pay for the consquences of it. I'm also of the opinion that poor administration practices are what escalated the problem in the first place.
So... Spam is an admin problem, but when admins band together and form things like SpamCop or ORBL, they become "fascists"?
Just making sure I understand this stance...(?)
Personally, I think the message filtering tools need to be pushed more out to the user (be it through e-mail client, or individual user e-mail server setting preferences, or whatever), so people can choose for themselves what they do/don't recieve... But, until then, for the most part, SpamCop seems to be working reasonably well. Certainly better than getting governments involved!
