Ledfish, in general, that's been my position, and it has definitely been my experience.
But, Dave and I were discussing this a bit, and while I think we both agree that it's difficult if not impossible to _prove_ that the spamreport works, he has convinced me that it _might work_.
Which took a bit of convincing... ;-}
I still have my reservations, and I think Dave has special techniques and approaches that make spamreport more effective.
I'm still rather skeptical that a spamreport would work for the page Max found, unless Max can prove that it is part of a massive spam campaign.
But, in the past I have been a massive unbeliever in the value of a spamreport. I had good reasons for thinking so, which I can lay out point by point.
Now, while I still have no proof that it definitely works, and I still doubt that it works for many types of small scale spam, I accept Dave's evidence that it can work sometimes.
