Starting with this posting here in the Lounge (now residing in "FAQ Under Construction") ... will put Pinned entries into the Help and E-Mail Forums pointing to this post ... and as mentioned in another Topic, an IronPort staffer has been given the task of updating the www.spamcop.net FAQ (this one points both there and within "here") so maybe even this effort has been wasted .. but hey, it's a start.
Note: the above was provided to explain the Saturday morning hack of moving the hyper-linked original SpamCop FAQ into this single-page entrance point ..
Justification #1: some folks got lost when trying to decide which link to follow.
Justification #2: original FAQ had been a constant complaint source for being incomplete, obsolete, and hard to use
Justification #3: This was only meant to be an interim step, waiting for something else to be offered up.
Justification #4: That "something better" still has yet to arrive, and even though this thing has grown to humungous proportions, complaints still appear ... though it's still apparent that a lot of folks have yet to discover what a "FAQ" actually is and the reasons of how and why to use one simply elude some ...
For the people that somehow failed to grasp that the additional 5 pages of dialog after this first post was conversational data that occurred throughout the building of this FAQ, originally left in place so that folks could follow some of the development issues, some data entries, get a clue that their input was accepted, on and on .. all that dialog has now been moved to a "new" Topic so that the "confusion" should be eliminated. All that effort is now found at SpamCop FAQ (Forum version) developmentThat said, for those that made it 'here' .... the list begins below .....
