I know lots of MLM types (almost all are annoying on some level), but I have yet to see any of them jeopardize common WiFi for spam or "semi legal purposes." Most of them don't know how to do it (that's usually why they're MLM), and unless you have an onsite SMTP server that they are using, what do you really have to worry about? Most email providers require that you authenticate to their SMTP server before you send, and when you do, you're limited to x amount (50 or so) per email blast. If they get a complaint (Spamhaus, Spamcop, etc), then they lock the account. Their provider's IP is the one at risk for blacklisting. This is more of a question of shared values. If you tell a MLM person that s/he is cramping the style of the other people with their constant solicitations, then most of the time, they get it. This sort of thing is really no different than some people who always hit on others of the opposite sex, and someone eventually talks to them on the side about how annoying they're coming across. -- Also on LinkedIn?
