To provide such a behaviour, we need to store the information somewhere in the database and free-form remarks or a more generic e-mail attribute is IMHO not the way.

I have been caught in a story of alledged spam with an end-user customer and my experience is that ISP abuse team is at the crossroad between - lawyer (commercial and penal one), - wannabe hacker (coders with good programming skills and poor comprehension of the universe ;) - end-user customer that want bad guy punished and their mails delivered (especially the unsollicited one they send), - anti and pro spam lobby wich abhores one another What I understood is abuse / IP problems are mostly resolved if you teach / inform / communicate correctly. As the situation is already quite confusing and complicated I definitively want a Keep It Simple Stupid solution. IMHO abuse-c: field wich is a valid email is Simple & Stutid (aka what I need) : as a proof of concept I can successfully "sell" it today in my company to the marketing department :) Regards, Julien Tayon 9T
