If they are known spammers and that is their business then mailing them will be a waste of time I would think. On the other hand, it depends on who their upstream provider is, complaining to their upstream might do some good if they have a policy against their customers abusing the 'net in this way. Seee if their upstream has an AUP, etc. > I'm just annoyed a company that obviously has set out to specialise in > spam/electronic mailing lists doesn't even use it's own servers to send the > damned stuff out... Well, yes, otherwise their IP blocks would soon be well known and people would just block them, get them put on MAPS RBL, etc. Which would put them out of business. -Paul- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
