100 spammy messages isn't enough to get you in trouble, as long as it stops there.
I see you've never had the pleasure of dealing with SORBS. All it takes is *ONE* message - EVER - to be instantly, and forever, listed in their spamtraps list. Getting on the list is automatic and immediate. There are no thresholds or limits; and there's expiration. The only way off that list is to PAY them to remove you. (which makes it illegal in most places. The corporate sharks flipped when I pointed them to that "policy".)
as were the other major players (MS, Google, AOL, Yahoo) by just filling out their postmaster forms.
What "postmaster forms"? Those 4 are the most *impossible* companies with whom I've ever tried to interact. I *know* there are people at Google but I'll be damned if there's a way to reach any of them.
