That's a pretty shortsighted view, Sheryl. I suspect you haven't been on the receiving end of some idtiot buying a leased line/virtual web presence from you and then spamming from an AOL/PSI/earhlink/yadda yadda account. It isn't pleasant. Folks aren't stupid. They ignore the fact that the tool used to spam was a throwaway account and go right for the jugular (you). It's better to have a zero tolerance policy and not have to deal with the silliness in the first place.
You are correct, we have been lucky so far and this has not been an issue. If it becomes an issue, we may have to make changes to our AUP. However, what I don't like is the idea that we might have to make that change not based on what we think is acceptable use, but based on what some self appointed group has decided it should be. The consequences of not going along being that we get blackholed. Sheryl Chapin Senior Network Engineer CommTel Internet 207.377.3508 Winthrop, Maine schapin () ctel net
