Thanks all,

I have reviewed the email that sparked this discussion, and find the email
itself was not very bad (compared to some I review).

Unfortunately, this request was from a pregnant lady who may have been more
upset than usual, although I don't feel any of this is OK. The content was
about "private youngest teenagers" and a link to the site. We received 11 of
these, and only one slipped through to a user due to the RBLs not having
this particular site listed. All of them were of course from different
domains and IPs.

I was mostly wanting to know how to proceed when something worthy of
reporting occurs, and the concensus is the local police. I doubt if our
local police handle any of this on a regular basis, with the size of our
city here being what it is, but still, it is a good start to let it find
it's own way.

After showing her our list of dropped mail, she feels a little better now.

So thanks to all who replied and for MS/SA itself for stopping 98% of these.
