C'est no moi.

The problem is that customers are sending spam through, which gets
reported and treated as if it were relayed (which, it was) through
an open server (which it is not)

Practically every ISP deals with this, I'm sure. And even if they're
enforcing authentication for every mail, all that does is give them
more 'meat' to go after the infringing customer.

We do go after the infringers -- in fact, yesterday there were at
least 8 folks shut off for spamming. I've got a couple packet-caps
for the evidence file.

But I don't have anything to do with the mail systems. Although
I did report this to them yesterday.
