Has anyone ever been spammed by these guys?
They sent this directly to my admin mail alias, isn't this illegal?

I have an idea, what if we create a web-host blacklist and place abusers on it, create certificates for the non-abusing web-hosts and display it to customers everywhere, by putting a link on every site you own?

On WHT they already get 'blacklisted' by having their names ***** out. Know spammers etc...

Then I am being hosted by a spammer! :eek: :confused:

superb dot net is out as stars. I wondered why. I guess they gained some reputation since they got blacklisted. Good thing they arn't my only DC

Edit: What do I do? :bawling:

They may not be spammers per se, but they have for whatever reason been banned on WHT. And before you ask why, i have no idea.

Plenty of people have been spammed by these guys. Just search for them on this board and see how many other people have had an issue with this.
