I have a mail filter which bounces all SPAM mail back to the original sender,
and the postmaster and abuse accounts at the ISP. Recently, AGIS, in their
wonderful wisdom, effectively shutdown our companies internet connection.
We are not an AGIS customer, and they said that they were trying to get rid of
our "mail bomb". They said that they will not take any responsibility for these
messages. They also say that they will not do anything about their customers
sending SPAM.
Just another example of an irresponsible ISP.
