Whinging e360 Insight

It sounds to me like e360 Insight are a bit annoyed because a system is blocking spam sent by them.

Now if there was anyone at e360 with a brain wouldn't they just change the headers they use and get round the spam filter?

If i was spamhaus i would ignore the american court too. It would be my software and my blocking engine, if i want to block mail from *@*.* for all my clients that i protect then i am within my right to do so. My clients might not like it and if they dont like it they will leave meaning i have less profits which will wake me up to do something about my blocking rules that my customers dont like.

Now along the same lines, if my customers were not happy about my blocking of the e360 emails surely they would contact me and tell me and i could allow those mails through? Or an even more drastic measure would be to leave my anti spam services and seek another option that allows the e360 spam through?

Lets get this straight, Spamhaus block the e360 mails, yet no one who is protected by spamhaus is complaining about it, spamhaus have not been asked to allow the blocked mails by any customer and spamhaus have not allowed the e360 mails through and customers are staying with Spamhaus. This says to me, correct me if i am wrong but i know i am not wrong. That no one actually wants the e360 spam arriving in their inbox? Call me colombo or something but hasn't the court in america basically just awarded a known spammer damages?

I fully support spamhaus in their blocking, i dont use them and i never will but i fully understand why they are doing what they are doing. Keep going guys.
