Re: [IMail Forum] OT: booted spammer

Sort of and ISP warning/blacklist...   I'd pay attention to it, but I doubt many providers would.   You could also use it to list people who sign up for the first month, abuse the system, and leave without paying, or payment abusers in general. I have a few I'd add to that one!   -d ----- Original Message ----- From: Matrosity Hosting To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 11:35 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] OT: booted spammer I agree. I'm looking for something where we can report a domain/customer so that we (iSP's and hosting companies) can look them up to be informed.

I don't see spammers paying that anyway but it would be nice if we could impose some kind of real pain in that kind of instance. All we're doing now is sending them off for someone else to deal with.

Is there nothing else we can do? Grant Griffith - IMail wrote: Declude HiJack would catch this I believe   I am not using it, but others are and I am sure they will chime in.

Any ideas would be great.

He's a printer and I quote "the kings of our industry get business this way so I have to spam to make money". Do you guys just boot people like this or is there a process to report them to a blacklist or something?
