(Also a ISP here, but not an owner). But I second that. As a matter of fact, a rude message from a non paying non customer may even get deleted. i.e. a spam complaint where our domain is being clearly forged: A polite "Hey, you have a spammer..." will get a reply almost all the time. A "You idiots are spamming me. Quit it! You are <EXPLATIVE>! I will report you to the Internet Police" will almost always get forwarded to our Layer 2 Lead, Dave Null. > My grandfather used to say -- and someone else on the list quoted to you > -- you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. <Bow> If there's ONE thing I learned - it's you can be a TAD rude. IF YOU PAY. However if you have free software, you better be nice. :) To quote Mr. Schafer: > I did not know spamassassin is home-brew.
