If you want to see the entire story go to dejanews and do a search on AGIS in the new.admin.net-abuse.* hierarchies. In short, if you ever wonder where all this UCE/Junk-email comes from (cyberpromo/answerme.com/cyberbomber) it comes from within AGIS's client's domains. AGIS is their backbone provider. Two of the nets worst spammers, Qualcom.com and Cyberpromo, among others hide behind AGIS's network. AGIS refuses to do anything about their clients net abuses, hence we are actively boycotting them. -Mike -- #include <std_disclaimer.h> /* Mike Segel (MS385) */ #include <No_Spam.h> #ifdef OFFENDED_BY_CONTENT The author takes no responsibility for this post. Any resemblence to a coherent rational thought is purely coincidence. -The Management. #endif ***************************** Due to AGIS's Refusal to Act Responsibly We are blocking all of their domains at the packet level. This block will exist until AGIS modifies their policies to conform to existing RFCs and net community standards. We encourage all ISPs and domain holders to do the same. *****************************
