I deliver numerous order shipment reports for a client. These are emails which say "Thank you for ordering - here is your order confirmation, your order number, your shipment number, etc." And still a dozen or so people every day (aol, yahoo, msn, et al) click on "This is spam" - for a message about products they have purchased! I see those in the FBL emails. So what is one supposed to do when yahoo or some other ISP then says "you're getting too many complaints"??

I still believe that retry times should be extended unless the message is no longer relevant. Beyond the fact that they are significantly behind at the abuse desk, I would not suspect this being resolved in the near future.
