I'm the one who answers postmaster mail here. If we recieve a complaint
about spam/abuse, we take action. We have no hesitation about cancelling
an account due to abuse- Those aren't the customers we want to have.
I'm not sure what you might have reported, but if you sent us a complaint,
we investigated it, and took action if necessary.

If you have problems with a user, send the report to abuse () mindspring com,
and it _will_ be taken care of.
