I have good news to report about Eonix/Serverhub. My preference is to get hosting companies to live up to their Unsolicited Bulk Email Communications (spam) Policy. I start that by getting the spam email's sending IP address from the email headers, look up the IP address in ARIN, copy the email address listed for abuse, and then send an email to that email address with the full raw email headers for the spam email letting them know they have a client violating their Acceptable Use Policy and then ask them to take action to stop the spamming. In my last post I mentioned Eonix had responded to my email and several days latter the spammer stopped. Then several days after they stopped they started again but from a different IP address range so I repeated my process, Eonix responded, and 1-2 days later the spamming stopped. The pattern repeated about 6 times and then no more spam from Eonix. About a month later the process repeated again. In April there was a half day of spam but it stopped on it's own. In May there was a day of spam but it stopped on it's own. And that's where things stand now. Each time I report spam to net-abuse@eonix.net they create a ticket. They allow anyone to create an account and I used mine to track the tickets they created about my spam reports, and they eventually get closed when the spamming stops. So my experience has been that if I report spam to Eonix they respond by getting the spam shut down.

Correction - On http://eonix.net/ it lists that their brands are http://infinitie.net/ and http://serverhub.com/ As for Layerhost it appears to be an unrelated company, but just as spammer friendly. Today I got word that Serverhub ticket # 81058 had been "completed". When I logged into my Serverhub account (I'm not paying for anything from them, this is a free account) the ticket contains a post saying "Hi, We would like to inform you that this issue has been resolved. If there any other reports found, Please forwards them to us and We will be happy to help. Best Regards, Ahmed Allam" Since being notified that the ticket had been completed I haven't seen any emails from IP address range 50.3.175.*. Unfortunately I started receiving spam from IP address range 50.3.152.2 - 50.3.152.10. Hence I send another email alerting them of these spam emails and I see that they have opened ticket # 82927. Stay tuned....

On Jan 17 I alerted ARIN that all email addresses they have listed for Eonix weren't accepting emails. They replied with a confirmation number and said they would look into it. As Knerd reported eonix.net started working on the 20th so I'm now betting ARIN won't do anything. We'll see... Eonix owns IP address range 50.2.0.0 - 50.3.255.255. Within it is 50.3.175.* and they belong to BestWebHosting.com. The spam emails I'm receiving are from that IP address range. So, with eonix.net working again I thought I would send one of my "You are hosting a spammer" emails to the email address "support@bestwebhosting.com" and CC "net-abuse@einix.net" and the following happened: The email to bestwebhosting.com caused me to receive a "mail deliver failure" with this "The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries." Yes, I alerted ARIN to this and they say they are looking into it. A minute later I received an email from "support@serverhub.com" saying they would reply shortly and that I could view our conversation at their Help Center and gave a link with a ticket #. Clicking the link lead me to a login screen so I clicked on the link to create a new account, filled it in, and then I was able to see the ticket #. It contains my email with all the info. This could get interesting, or could just be another rat hole. In the mean time I've set up a cPanel Global Email Filter for all Eonix IP address ranges so I'm no longer having to wade thru those spam email. The Better Business Bureau has several recent complains outstanding against Eonix. I'll be informing the BBB that eonix.net lacks an Acceptable Use webpage and thus is free to allow spamming. Hopefully if they get enough complains we can drop their A- rating...

I arrived here after Googling "eonix.net spam". Normally when my domain receives spam I look into the headers to get the originating IP address, look it up in ARIN, send an email to the ISP email address listed in ARIN with full details of the spam email, and shortly there after the ISP shuts down the spammer causing the spam stops. I have to monitor my spam emails because occasionally spamassassin incorrectly flags an good email as spam. And then Eonix started spamming me with about 200 / day, and that's a lot of spam to wade thru. Well, technically, Eonix is the parent of the spammer. For example the IP address 104.206.77.193 lists sales@nextacebiz.com . Attempts to convert "nextacebiz.com" to an IP address fail. There are several other spammers of Eonix that ended up being dead ends, but ARIN for IP address 50.3.175.20 lists support@bestwebhosting.com, https://www.bestwebhostinghub.com/ is a live website (IP address 104.21.86.72 hosted by cloudflare.com) but is basically trash except a link at the top takes you to https://www.cloudways.com/en/?id=693788 (IP address 151.139.128.11 which is owned by stackpath.com), and on and on this goes... So here's the thing, http://eonix.net/ displays a webpage that says the domain has expired (there's a link to renew it http://enom.help/renew-faq) so you can't even view Acceptable Use Policy webpage. Scanalytics says this about Eonix Corporation "We consider Eonix Corporation to be a potentially very high fraud risk ISP" (https://scamalytics.com/ip/isp/eonix-corporation) Google Reviews gives them 1.4 stars out of 5 https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk03yY9W0qEhrRrDk-rzpv3YIr2bfaQ%3A1610924649519&source=hp&ei=acIEYNSFHIu4tQalpqzoBA&q=Eonix+Communications+Inc&oq=Eonix+Communications+Inc# Now for some good news - Google also lead me to this Better Business Bureau webpage https://www.bbb.org/us/nv/henderson/profile/commercial-products-wholesale-and-distributor/eonix-corporation-1086-73919/complaints and it lists ====> http://support.serverhub.com (and they do have a can-spam webpage https://www.serverhub.com/policies/can-spam-act). Additionally digging shows that Eonix Corporation has trademarks for Serverhub and Vpsnow (https://www.corporationwiki.com/p/2cyb1e/eonix-corporation) The website https://www.serverhub.com/ is at IP address 104.26.10.20 and ARIN says it belongs to Cloudflair https://search.arin.net/rdap/?query=104.26.10.20 I'll try sending an email ARIN lists, but I'm not optimistic. Yes, one possibility is to wade thru 200 spam emails a day and just "take it". But, there has to be some other avenue to persue - FCC? FBI? Any suggestions? I did find that ARIN has a way to Report Whois Inaccuracy and I'll be using it to report that Eonix's contact info is invalid.
