Hi Bill, I agree that it's not ilegall but do it on a public RBL server is nonsense. If it's a unknow RBL server no problem, but I know a lot of SMTP servers uses this RBL to accept mail from. I already saw messages in this list about this RBL server, so I sent this e-mail just to warn about it. But "no charge will be made and the entire deposit will be refunded " is a joke.... we are not talking about US$5,00 but U$1.000,00! ************************************************************** Jos� Carlos Franco Jr. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sigmanet.com.br SIGMANET Internet Provider Fone: 55-19-3255-3795 Fax: 55-19-3254-1194 Campinas - SP - Brasil ************************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Sobel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 2:39 PM Subject: [VOPmail Beta] RBL abuse.. > * This is the vopmailbeta mailing list * > > > > Folks, we need to do something about this type of illegal activity. > > Let me be clear about this; No, we don't. > > First, there is nothing illegal about this.
