I've got a question. When i go to report a spam, I get a bit worried about accidentially reporting myself as a spammer.

I paste the full source into the proper box on the report spam page... and once I wait past the 7 second delay... I get the normal 'report spam' page.

This bit though is what worries me:

Report spam to:

To: DRACOSILVER[at]WI.RR.COM (Notes)

Does this mean that it's trying to report me as a spammer?

That's where one is supposed to review the list of targets and agree or not with that list .. before the Report actyally gets sent. The scenario you ask about would typically be seen as a Report going to your own ISP/Host.

Apparently you have totally missed the specific data of;

Report spam to: .. certainly suggests that this where thie Report would go ....

(User defined recipient) .. you configured your Reporting Account to send this Report

Basically, you have asked the Reporting System to send you a copy of the Report, if we are to assume that the exposed e-mail address is yours.

Well i guess that I got a bit freaked out, since last night sometime, my email wasn't working... biggrin.gif

I mistakenly put those two things together and came to the wrong conclusion.
