>It's pathetic that they get away with it. I agree. I tried to get our backbone provider to go with us on a law suit against one individual and his company who was blocking Address Classes of that provider and admitted in an email that none of the users of our blocked Address Class had sent him spam.
His company stated that they were not responsible for his actions but they allowed him to operate his anti-spam campaign out of a sub.domain of their hosting. He stated he was blocking an Address Class per day of that backbone until they took action that suited him against one hosting company that he stated was pro-spam and used the backbone provider. In his words, if they start to lose their other customers they will shut this one down. But they refused to take legal action against him. Instead they provide us with different IP addresses that they stated would not be blocked while they negotiated with him. Never mind the fact that we had to go into our servers and make the IP address changes for our clients. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William X Walsh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 9:01 AM Subject: Re[6]: Spamming > Wednesday, Wednesday, January 30, 2002, 10:44:35 AM, ezgoing8 wrote: > > > But be careful William.
