I got a spam for an Acura dealer in Houston Tx from them.

They are not going to get ANY mail into my mailbox as a result.
The tone of their mail also indicated that they are arrogant pieces
of dog droppings. If Digex appears in the email they are boosted
to a rather high number. They are NOT well behaved.

Hmm, well, have you reported the incident to digex? Have you reported it to honda? or are you too upset to handle a simple issue simply?


If you've not reported to digex, then how can you know how well behaved digex is?

Even the most adamant anti-spam ISP can have a bad customer. What differentiates good ISP from bad is how they handle the abuse reports. (ie: which goes to /dev/null, your email, or the offending customer account? Do they at least offer to mediate the dispute and contact them?)

ie, take your ISP, earthlink. I get quite a few spams from earthlink nodes. However, they rapidly disconnect spammers. I don't blocklist earthlink for this reason.

Also, it's not just an accura dealer that sent you that email, that would appear to be a mailhub for all of honda's marketing. I got one from Honda about 2 years ago via a different host (I am a Honda owner). I told them to get lost and they did. Never heard from 'em again. Are you sure you're not over-reacting here? Are you certain you've never dropped that email address to them? (That includes "business card in the fishbowl" situations... Those "raffles" come at a cost of marketing and they make no claims to the contrary)

That said, I'd love to know how Digex and/or Honda handles your complaint. It's always important to know which ISPs are responsive and which aren't.
