Of course our ISP has been ignoring that, it only provides connectivity, it doesn't have to interfere with our actions. But... do you mean you contacted our ISP privately? "hiding this problem behind private email" ? And you didn't bother to contact us?

As far as I know, our gateway (our "flawed spammer vector" as you call it) is the only freely available one, used by more than 50 people who may not be able to access usenet news otherwise. If it has been abused by spammers, well, this is life, and we are taking measures right now to enhance our anti-spam system. Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam@rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/sam
