AOL's Scomp is spam it's self.   If I read though 100 messages maybe one

click on the Spam button instead of unsubscribing for a list they subscribed
to in the first place.


My favorites for AOL Scomp reports are when people report sub/unsub as spam, then send nasty e-mails 20 minutes later that they either never got confirmation of what they did, or that it never actually removed them.

Had one user in particular, who reported mailing list as spam, purged them from said list myself, then 30 mins later signed back up, reported the subscription confirmation as spam, then complained after I removed him again.

Not exactly brightest bulb some of them are.
