I don't really think they were doing superlarge volume at this point, just your usual commercial spammer who desperately wants to appear legitimate. Cheers though, I'll keep it in mind. TreeNet Admin wrote:

Give iconz a day or so to handle the problem. Then if they are still there and spamming. You may want to check all the details you can of the outfit with the spammer database at spamhaus.org. Like with brendan battles, they may already have a listing and certainly have the ability to negotiate with iconz on a large scale.

I also have a few other channels I can push the info down depending on the nature of the spam, to get it spread around if you want to send some of the messages (in full) to my abuse(a)treenetnz.com box.

There's a new outfit who seem to like bulk unsolicited email. It's pretty annoying as they're using Iconz as well and while I'm not totally clear on the specifics, this can't be good for any Iconz customers like me who don't want to be RBLed through someone else's behaviour.

I've sent the spammer a short and sharp email as well as a note to abuse(a)iconz, is there anything else worth doing to help stop it in its tracks?
