I agree. I think Will and his mods have gotten a handle on it with multiple methods, but it's a hassle. Maybe disabling accounts after x months inactivity but that's still just a patch and comes with its own set of headaches. Larger companies have more resources and staff to deal with this stuff but when it's a one man show and a few very qualified mods who aren't getting paid it's a challenge.Oh I still have to deal with blacklist but since they only effect emails and not the sites themselves the customer that causes the blacklist issue usually learns fast to avoid it in the future.
I still have the fun job of getting them unbanned but I make sure they realize what they did wrong and if they refuse to do anything about it they find another host or I move their email services to a server I have labeled "The Basement".
You don't want to end up having your emails routed thru the basement. But at least it doesn't effect the ones that behave and the bad actors get to try to do email sending while being on a blacklist.
I still think we need a new mechanism as a standard to handle morons that use the report as spam when they actually ASKED for the emails to be sent to them via subscribing to a thread somewhere.
I have no idea what we need but we need something to handle that.
