When enough of its customers start getting upset because interbusiness finds itself on an increasingly shrinking intranet, they might actually implement and enforce some policies that would stop the onslaught of spam, and people would start taking them out of their blocklists. So let interbusiness know how you feel. Make sure other interbusiness customers let them know as well. Pressure them on this. Believe me, there's nothing I'd like better than to remove their entry from my blocklists---I'd far rather be dealing with a responsible ISP than have to block spam from them. | As my 90% of spam is coming from the USA, I should block all the USA mail, | don't I? Wow. Really? 90% of my spam comes from South Korea; they may be US crooks sending the spam, but it's getting routed through insecure South Korean servers. Maybe that's the spammer credo: only spam through other countries. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
