[cobalt-users] Communitech spam

[Chip <chip@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with everything that David has said.  I guess I was simply assuming 
that none of the backbone providers will be willing to lose the revenue of 
one of their larger customers over this, and was trying to make SOMETHING 
positive come of it.  I hope I'm wrong -- you can bet your *ss that 
Communitech would cancel one of their own customers in a heartbeat for 
doing what they themselves did.

I would encourage ANYONE having received this spam to email Communitech's 
upstream (uunet, globalcenter, sprint) AND abuse@xxxxxxxxxx (for stealing 
NSI's customer list).

If someone knows whom to email to get Communitech added to the MAPS RBL, I 
will happily email them as well.

I bet Communitech will think twice before trying this again.
