Sorry, what are you talking about here? Those are some pretty big
statements you've made. Any chance of a URL that backs any of these
claims up? I am a PIPEX customer and if what you're saying is true its
useful information but I'm having difficulty verifying your claims. The
Spamhaus hosts statistics at:
http://www.spamhaus.org/statistics-hosts.lasso list a grand total of 3
spammers on the uk.uu.net, uu.net and worldcom.com backbones. I find it
hard to believe that any reputable spam prevention program would cut off
thousands of legitimate UUNET customers on those grounds especially when
you consider the UUNET share of the corporate ISP market. I know you
said it was just an opinion, but if there's any basis for it, you wanna
share?
