requested more information, but we would not disclose anything that
could be used to identify those individuals.

URLs and originating ISPs. This helps the verification process
if/when accusations of spamming occurs. TOP

processed promptly and our abuse team follows up with the customer
directly. TOP
ISP and Blacklist Relations

of the leading ISPs and Blacklists. If you are an ISP, mail administrator
or blacklist owner and would like to include us in your network, please
