What are you talking about? Before becoming angry and posting ill-informed "thoughts" I would suggest you familiarize yourself with information before looking like an idiot.

If you're accusing us of spamming, I can assure you that we do no such thing. Can you provide the spam message? If so, I can help you track down who really sent it.

And this has what to do with Zimbra, exactly?

1) Spammers forge the 'From:' address on the emails they send to you. That means if you reply to it, you reply to a bogus made up address or some completely innocent address.

2) If you respond/unsubscribe to spam you get recognized as a real live email address and usually get added to every spam database going.

Okay, understandable. May I ask why you think that it's Zimbra specifically?

She is probably talking about spam mail coming from a from address of @zimbra.com, but are in fact spoofed. I have actually seen some hitting our ironport appliance that get rejected.

Sherita, could you post the message header of one of the messages that you have gotten? That will help identify who is actually sending it, because it likely is not actually zimbra but a spammer that is spoofing a zimbra address. I'm not saying anyone is/isn't at fault but it really resides in your antispam software to pick up on that and not let it through.

If that's true, then please please report that kind of thing. We will take swift action to ensure that type of thing doesn't happen. Being a part of Yahoo has it's advantages.....we have a massive legal force (for obvious reasons )
