Hi, We blocked plaxo for a while. We had to reopened it. I had no idea, how much users are using this service.
We informed our users (again...) about the risks giving away an email address to a public service. This is we can do as an ISP. The decision to use plaxo must be done by the user. ============================================ Am Montag, 6.
