I don’t expect smart members to do so, obviously, but they could, or they could in fact, simplify their job and automate as much as possible the handling of the abuse mailbox, so clear cases are processed automatically, other cases could be diverted to staff to handle it, and even other cases could be discarded by responding, for example “we will inform our customer, however spam is not illegal in our country and we don’t include such provisions in our customers contacts, so if they want to spam you, so be it”.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">Note that some of my quoted text is in irony mode.
