Ah...you've met Bruce :-) On a more serious note, we do take security VERY seriously at NETCOM. At times we get too busy to handle some events, so I appologize to those who get dropped. With 40,000 to 50,000 customers, security/spamming incedents are happening every day now. For those who are interested, we are hiring sysadmins, network admins, and I believe we have a position open for a security person too. Send me a resume at work (hoodr () netcom com), and I will make sure it gets seen by the appropriate people.

When we run low on disk space, logs are usually the first to go. We are currently up to 2.2 GIGs of logs every week (and thats just the shell accounts)!
I don't know... I got a nice note back from them in response to a forwarded copy of a spam to a bunch of mailing lists by a user at their site (the actuary () ix netcom com "Choice Trading Company, Court Appointed Liquidators" spam):
