Is an AUP part of the contract, which explains the 2nd part, but the first is a bit much. There is quite a difference between an admin at an ISP disabling a user, but an upstream provider slapping a filter on an ISP!? Unreasonable, especially with no warning. Do that a few times in a malicious manner and if is not explicity in the contract... Does not sound like a place to recommend to anyone. OTOH, just received a pleasant reply to complain with a local ISP user that spammed me at 2 addresses. Sounds like they have a one warning policy, which is my preference. The thing that irks me is spam that shows up with my listmail address. Wonder if either the 'list users' feature is still active, or if they are being grabbed from the mailing list directly. Not much can be done about the 2nd reason, except lurk.
