I got tired of getting carpetbombed(1) with spam originated from EV1 servers
day after day, with no meaningful response.. They hold the distinction
of being the only US ISP that has ALL of their IP space in my blocklist.
(1) where I would get a couple spams from here, and a couple spams from
there, with EV1 it was a couple dozen at a time.. Gets old real fast.
