By long tradition, system administrators are free to do as they see
fit with the system(s) they administer. While it may have been more
courteous to users to have provided some warning in advance, I
maintain that you are out of line to complain about the unilateral
action because, bottom line, you get to use, for free and without
strings, a service someone else provides. I know you know this, but
perhaps it helps to be reminded. Eh?

The mail headers provided all of the information you needed. Doug is
right, too, if an ISP doesn't close an open mail relay, even though
they are not now a spam source, they *will* eventually become one.
Code Red should remind everyone how easy it is to scan a range of
addresses. It only takes about 10 more lines of code to scan every
port on an address for one that can be probed more completely for
potential exploit.
