I hope you have posted a complaint first. Since April\May, when
JunkMail was released, I have religiously fired off a Spam complaint
to every abuse address that this App will find. I briefly glance at
them before deleting. Ignoring the Auto-replies which say something
like: "We have closed this account. However this Spam was not relayed
through our service" (a contradiction if ever there was one), I have
received numerous 'positive' and believable replies.
These last four weeks my Spam intake has dropped dramatically and
I have received none this last week.
Could I assume that I have been put on their 'blacklists' :-)))
Having said this, I'd bet that I'll get another Spam when I log on
in the next 10 min.
