Anyone still getting SPAM from ClearWebHost. I seem to be getting a lot to my personal email, and other departments here. I don't get this; this kind of stuff just irritates me and brings a bad name to this host. The funny thing is that on their FAQ page they list an FAQ called "Can spam from your servers?" (first the verbiage is off) but the answer is "Absolutely note, This is strictly against our TOS" :D and guess what ... no TOS found on their site. Not a good move ClearWebHost.

I've gotten the same mail twice this week. Looks like July has been a busy mailing month for them. http://webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=492012&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending :mad:

Try to report to their upstream that might help. But it looks like someone already done that a month ago without luck.

They got you to post their SPAM ad on a forum with over 17,000 members.

Well spam is the biggest issue...

We need to have a different forum for spam issues.
