Let us know how that works out for you. I subscribe to the Listserv List
Owners and Listserv Site Admins lists and the Yahoo feedback loop has been
discussed there. One thing you won't get is who reported the message as
spam, and on mailing lists, too many people forget they requested and
confirmed the subscription (double opt-in). When they get sick of the
messages, they don't unsubscribe, they report as spam.
Without knowing who reported you as sending spam, it is difficult to tell
why it was reported. Perhaps as server owners, there might be a useful
detail in the report such as message id that we can grep the logs for
which might help. For most list owners and site admins, they are SOL as
they may not have that access.
