Re: AGIS Signing up New Spammers

["James K. Hood" <james () agis net>]

Jon,

We used to have filters set up to block out individuals who sent excessive
amounts of mail which threatened to fill up the hard drives on our mail
server.  However, since the termination of our larger bulk emailers, we
have less anti-spam coming in and fewer complaints overall concerning our
remaining bulk emailers.  (Plus, we do still get complaints about some
ex-customers who use dialup accounts through other providers and other bulk
emailers not on the AGIS backbone.)  We have removed all filters except for
one or two die-hard "forward all spam to AGIS with 10 copies to each
employee and internal mailing list" sites.

Jim
