Following the years of the ever-growing SpamCop system and user base, watching and being part of the problematic meeting grounds between the techy/geeky folks that deal with computer/network issues as a livelihood and those folks that just got their new computer yesterday .. here's a shot at perhaps answering the oft-requested "SpamCop for Dummies" plea. What we'd like to see here are the step-by-step type walk-through descriptions.
Known already is that because Microsoft does not yet own the entire world, there are all those little inconsistencies floating around out there <g> So just a bit of fore-warning, instructions and sequences provided may still not be "your" final solution. Joe may provide the perfect step-by-step sequence that works just fine on Joe's hardware/software mix, but Sheila has changed a few configuration items in her e-mail application that makes Joe's instructions fail at step 7. So we may have to edit Joe's instructions a bit to clarify ... or another step-by-step may have to be written for those that work with the same settings as Sheila.
As we all know that geeks don't speak in a normal language <g> ... please take that as a suggestion to go ahead and try to write up and post "your" sequence of actions that work. It might just be the way you explain things that clears up someone else's inability to decode geek talk <g>
