Here is your error: they sent no spam, in no way, ever! So you definitively got a false positive. > I'm speaking from personal experience in running an ISP with > >1M customers and dealing with these issues. I'm not impressed by your numbers, here in Italy we have a joke that says that if thousands of millions of flies eat shit, this should be the right thing. I think no so... I don't dubt that your way is effective on blocking spam with little hassle for you. I don't dubt too that your customers don't care (or even are not aware) of loosing legitimate mails. I just say that you are not doing the right thing. > I'll keep blocking dialup's. If you want your customers to be > able to send mail to machines I run then YOU will have to solve > YOUR problem. Thanks, very kind of you, but I think that email is communication, and if communication fails it is a problem of both. Your approch is quite rude, I can reverse the argumentation: if you want your customers to be able to receive mails from my customers YOU have to solve YOUR problem, period. You win just because you weigh 6666 times me, not because you are doing the right thing. Ciao -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy War against Iraq? Not in my name!
