Good luck. SPEWS completely sucks - I have a client in a very similar situation, and my requests on news.admin.net-abuse.email only got me called all kinds of nasty names. The gist of the responses I got was "If you do business with an ISP that allows spam, allowed spam, or had anything to do in any way, shape or form with a spammer, then screw you - you've gotten what you deserve."
That kind of militant attitude does not help the anti-spam movement. I cannot tell you how unimpressed I was, and am, with the people in that group. -- Thomas Cameron, RHCE, CNE, MCSE, MCT Cameron Technical Services, Inc. http://www.camerontech.com/ (512) 454-3200 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 3:44 PM Subject: [SAtalk] Moved into the ex-ip of a spammer > Hi all - > > We just set up shop at a co-lo, started firing off mails to customers that > requested to download our product (a spamassassin-based filter, ironically) > and discovered that we are the proud owners of part of a class C that has > been blocked because the previous owners were spammers.
