I understand that this is my first post but I have been a reader of webhostingtalk.com for over 8 months. I feel this situation calls for me to post and help out.

We had a customer sign up and host 9 accounts with us. Not but a day later they started with the spam ( the usual spammer schedule). Usually I would just stop the account during the send blacklist, report them and forget they existed. However in this case we were contacted by many of thier past victims (hosting co. & spamees) saying that they have harvested their targets from a Childrens site.

I will be happy to send a list of the domains they use as well as email address so that you may blacklist them.

PM me and I will send the list to you.

Regards
RB

We tail the logs. When we see a load spam going out we kill it.
