atossava@cc.helsinki.fi (sendmail@kruuna.helsinki.fi [128.214.205.14])

The "modified subject line" consisted of the tags
[email] [spam] [pyramid scam] in front of the original Subject line.

It is obvious that Ameritech wish to make complainants jump through
hoops.

The same blacklisting should apply to snet.net.
