Company S(pam) has a web site, hosted on the servers of web-presence-provider Company P(rovider). Company S uses the services of Company X to send out massive loads of SPAM, with referencing the web site and even e-mail addresses hosted by Company H. Now, if I'm hearing what's being said on this list correctly, Company H is being expected to pull the website they host for Company S (or else be blackholed), _even though no illegal or spam-generating activity is being generated on their network_. Am I understanding this correctly?!? By this philosophy, it would seem that if I were to host the web pages of a company which engaged in unwelcome telemarketing (which I personally find much more offensive than SPAM, and which is no more or less illegal in most states), I would be under an obligation to cease providing service to that company!
Not to mention being the ultimate DoS: sending out loads of useless SPAM that appears to come from a competitor, getting them kicked off their Net. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Anderson Online Network-Entertainment CyberIron Bodybuilding ICQ 3849549 <http://www.on-e.com/> <http://www.cyberiron.com> <keric () on-e com> San Diego, CA <keric () cyberiron com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "..and then my doctor said my nose wouldn't bleed so much if I just kept my finger outta there!" -- Ralph Wiggum
