Re: SprintPCS spam policies
I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up on the antispam policies of SprintPCS, so that you will know what to expect if you start getting blocked by their mx.messaging.sprintpcs.com mail servers. As a non-sprint-related side note, I know of somebody whose ATT Wireless phone service was rendered completely unusable by incoming spam via the email-to-SMS gateway. The typical rate was one message every 30 minutes, the only solution offered by customer service was to change the phone number. Has anyone ever encountered spammers doing a dictionary attack (emailing all phone numbers in a NXX) via email-to-SMS gateways?

I used to run an email to sms gateway at a previous job (where we consulted for one of india's largest mobile phone providers) I was seeing multiple instances of this even 4..5 years ago. srs -- suresh ramasubramanian [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg EDEDEFB9 manager, security and antispam operations, outblaze ltd
