Erroneously? The address you sent that message from is owned by bellsouth. If bellsouth declines to remove spammers from its network (which has certainly been the case in the past, and I haven't seen anything about them changing that policy), then a listing of some or all of bellsouth's address space is not erroneous. Anyway, what is "some progress"? Is the listing still there? (Are Bellsouth's cartooneys shining you on about removal?) > Apparently Bellsouth's attorneys have a better way to contact these > lists than I do. I strongly doubt they have any way to contact SPEWS other than by posting in news.admin.net-abuse.email. > It's unfortunate that the people who run these lists are no more > responsible about their actions than the spammers are. They say that they'll list IP space owned by spam-friendly ISPs, and they do list IP space owned by spam-friendly ISPs. That seems quite responsible to me: they do what they say. ISPs that publish Terms of Service that say spamming isn't allowed, but fail to act against spammers when complaints arrive, are the ones who are irresponsible. If you choose to buy service from an irresponsible provider, you shouldn't be suprised when others decline to allow connections from your servers.
