I stand corrrected. http://www,subdimension.com explains that their ISP terminated their connection for breaching the terms of service. Subdimension admits to "an open relay problem" and also admits that some of their subscribers involved themselves in spam activities and that they don't know what to do about it. A few weeks ago you were explaining how you thought it reasonable that sdf.lonestar.org blocked domains that were the origins of spam. Isn't the ISP's pulling the plug on subdimension consistent with the anti-spam viewpoint you've advocated in the past?
