Gee wizz... So terrible that we blocked some mail because of a mistake. Do you have any idea how complicated our rate limiting systems are? Most likely someone was spamming from that ISP and the spam qualified them for the hacker wacker lists (that's what we called am a couple years ago anyways) and then when mail started bouncing a human went and found that the ISP ended up on the lists. This is so horrible... So terrible... How many times have you seen a story like this? Tell me? Show me all the times it has happened in the past year? Show me how terrible the maybe 3 mistakes have been. I'd much rather work at Verio where they let their whole server farm get hacked and they harbor spammers. Don't fall in to your trap of clinging to a single instance of something and using it as an example of an every day issue. It's really not accurate, and not helpful to your argument. -Josh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
