actually, it's of very limited value. netcom has some real problems when it
comes to dealing with the spam problem; their management isn't letting their
abuse desk do that which is necessary. it's so bad, netcom has been added to
the MAPS RBL list (see http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for details) because they
won't close their mail relays and they won't shut down web sites and email
drop boxes advertised in spam originating elsewhere.
i wouldn't take any advice on interpreting spam headers received from
netcom's abuse department seriously. there are a number of _significant_
errors and misleading statements in the document they sent Steve.
