SpamCop clears bbv.com of bogus spam charge |
|
The following message was sent to our ISP by SpamCop.net:
We have received the below information regarding a report that was sent to your host abuse@xxxxxx.net, concerning one of your customers, blackboxvoting.com. As indicated in the information, blackboxvoting.com played no part in the spamming and was simply mentioned as part of an interview article. In our opinion on reviewing this spam, blackboxvoting.com should not be held accountable for someone elses spamming. I have marked the URL as an innocent bystander in our database so no new reports will be generated.
Richard SpamCop Deputy
Now it remains to be seen whether our ISP will relent on their "no appeal" rule.
Regardless, I am now setting up multiple "fall back" sites for future "problems".
Bev, chapter 7 is in the usual place, check you PM.

Please know that we are with you all the way. This is one of the few times in my life that I wish I was rich instead of happy. I would donate it all to you and Bev.

4. actually, you can help |
|
perhaps we you and others can drop our ISP a note and tell them you are happy SpamCop has cleared us, and you hope that this ends the matter of shutting down this important site.
Be polite. <s>

7. Actually, unless this site offers some special deals |
|
I don't know why you'd WANT to remain there. It's one thing to have a strict no-spam policy, it's another entirely to be willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater in this way, with no appeal when you're the victim, not the perpetrator.

To the ISP's credit, they took the time to reply to my e-mail. Here it is: ------------- We have just been informed of this and are reinstating the site. Thanks for you support. Regards,
