Here is some good piece of advice. I will do that. I'm afraid it won't do much good, because Israel being what it is, BezeqInt probably has some relations inside ISOC to which they have already hinted to me in a phone conversation. How did they harvest my adderess otherwise? It's a bit difficult to get the entire list without some cooperation. > And for everybody saying "but these details helps us catch > spammers and the > likes", well, this is far from being true.

I would LIKE to be accessible based on my whois record, for legitimate complaints. Not for spam, though. Maybe I should put an auto-responder with an alternative, de-spammed email address within. I believe the cooperative nature of the Internet is still alive and this is one of the tools that keep it that way. > Also, if you're a customer of that ISP, can't you complain to > them directly, > saying you'll be taking your business elsewhere? I have, but how effective is that? I am going to take my business elsewhere, I just need to convince some people here it is worth the hours I'm going to spend on it. -- Arik ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
