MGR: I'm pissed off.

In fact, I'm on the verge of just walking downstairs and powering the
server off.  For good.

The Phoenyx is listed in Spamcop, because somebody spammed a listowner
address, and the listowner is Spamcop-filtered.

I can't keep this from happening... the Phoenyx uses SpamAssassin on most
of its mail, but some still gets through.  The alternative is to direct
all listowner email to my own mailbox, and that puts the workload right
back on me.

Another alternative is to insist that listowners have enough technical
savvy to run addresses that don't risk this sort of thing.  Which
generally means running their own mail servers, since ISPs have a habit of
putting spamfilters on without mentioning it to them.  That's raising the
bar a little bit too high, I should think.

Another alternative is to power the whole thing down and let the spammers
win.  I'm leaning toward that, this fine morning.
