Luser spammers...

[Matthew Byng-Maddick]

The other day, some company rang us up, and asked if they could send us an
email concerning their product. I gave them (stupidly) an email address to
send to, and lo and behold they're advertising bulk emailers.

So their two MXs got added to my local blackhole list.

FYI they are,
whitemail.nildram.co.uk 195.112.4.34
blackmail.nildram.co.uk 195.112.4.38

Today, I've just fielded a call, did you get our message? The answer, "Yes,
and you are now members of our spam block list", the guy obviously didn't
listen, because he then asked me 'Did you find the email useful?'. I again
told him that he'd been added to our spam block list, and no, we didn't
really want bulk emailer software. He hung up then...

I get the impression that he didn't know what 'spam' was. Oh dear.

I think they were just a customer, however this is not the first spam
that we've had from those servers either, so a direct marketing^W^W
spamming organisation is not one that I want my mailservers to be
accepting mail from, and I don't know anyone else using Nildram
for the moment.... ;)
