This is the rudest, most arrogant abuse complaint I have seen. It is a
frigging dial up user.

You have sent a message that has been stopped! This
is because of your sending e-mailserver being listed in
an anti spam database. You should probably alert your
email administrator and/or your ISP and send this email
along to him.

The only reason a serious ISP or email administers would
be on such a list is that he do not yet know about it being
listed. Otherwise he would already have fixed the wrongfully
configured server. Or he terminated the contract with the
offending customer that put him on that list.

We have also tried to send this letter on the following
standardized addresses:
=======================
postmaster@65.19.17.201
postmaster () sf-du401 cybermesa com
postmaster () cybermesa com
abuse () cybermesa com
=======================

But very often administrators that don't know how to
configure a secure mailserver, don't know that they have
to implement these system addresses either.
And we feel that you will probably get better results
if you call or send this your self.

Most responses we get are about the spelling and
grammar from postmasters and administrators. They
are usually angry that we have made their customers
aware about their problems. This is kind of silly as the
Information given is easy to understand anyway, and
we could have sent the letter in correct Swedish instead.

But as our purpose in sending this is neither to make it
unreadable nor to make it offensive to anyone. Our
purpose is to inform about systems being misused or miss
configured so that the administrators gets a fair chance to
fix their servers.

So if you're an administrators please don't get angry
just fix your email servers and we will be happy to relay
your messages again. As a result your customers will be
happy and you will get less angry calls and letters making
you happy as well.

The few administrators, postmasters and ISP's that just
don't give a damn, will probably be noticed by their
customers anyway. As these letters will keep arriving
although they are probably just a very small part of the
end users problems.

Please send any comments to postmaster () sverige net
