Interland.com Spam

[av8r915]

This Atlanta based ISP has done nothing about constant porn spam coming from their network, even though I've reported about 60-70 messages through spamcop and directly to abuse[at]interland.com over the past few days. I've gotten spam through their network in the past also. Is this ISP known for being lax when it comes to enforcing their abuse policies?

Gee whiz, with all the available "Search" buttons, links, and even the 'form' one I'd added to the top of the Forum page .... I will say that the company name queried is very well known for configuration issues. The speed involved in fixing those reported problems has best been described as glacial. One could conjecture that if servers were put on-line in bad shape, and correcting the obvious errors in a handful of lines of data in a couple configuration files takes a bit of forever ...??? But it also seems to me that these errors usually showed up with folks tending to report themselves, and I believe they have actually whacked web-sites based on those bad complaints ... but I leave that to you to avail youeself to a Search function/engine or two ...

It's funny how this spammer seems to have begun spamming thru Interland.com Friday and the spam outflow ended Monday. He must plan to spam all weekend when the abuse[at]interland.com workers are off and then they shut him off when they come back to work and see all the built up complaint messages. Is this possible?

Very possible .... of course, you may also have overlooked that your spammer isn't yet to the "making million$" level so perhaps he/she/it has a 'real' job <g>

Perhaps I can also ask if anyone has come across a company called AIRBAND.COM. They (according to spamcop tracing) keep sending what looks like a bounce for what was an intercepted virus send. The subject says "Mail Delivery Failure"

ALERT!!!

This e-mail in its original form contained one or more attached files that were infected with a virus or worm, or contained another type of security threat.

The following attachments were infected and have been repaired:

No attachments are in this category.

The following attachments were deleted due to an inability to clean them:

1. message.scr: W32.Netsky.P[at]mm

This message is what my ISP sends when it intercepts and deletes a virus, but in the past that notice has not been received as a "Mail Delivery Failure", which makes me think they are using my address to fake other attempted virus sends.

However Airband seems utterly deaf in spite of reporting dozens of these. All the same.

Any suggestions?

We're customers at Interland. Since they come - we was at Dialtone before - the hell come too. Friday they accused us to do spam: just before they're off for the weekend. Anyway, we parsed spam headers and we understood that ...we was spammed, we sent a compliant, who received the compliant manipulated(!) the headers due to send a false email to Interland... Interland didn't parse headers: they just send a false accuse against us. Three days long we're waiting Interland reply, suffering for the spam (we can't report spam as they don't parse headers, and they menace to close our server!). Worste of all: here we have to read that Interland allows spam from its network! My suggestion is: stay away from them!

In fact, Interland staff said to us (because our server was hacked and we asked for their authorities help): "USA Authorities investigate only if a damage is about one hundred thousands of USD!". If so, to stay away it could be to stay alive too.
