Let's stop being so damned morally confused. One message in my mailbox is spam, thousands of messages being refused for 48+ hours, non-stop, is an operational/technical incident, no one is seeing or cares about the content, it's just an out of control software process which needs to be treated as such, and stopped.
Are you saying that Sprint's router's or Sprint's customer's CPU has the operational problem? If it is the former then obviously Sprint should do something about it. But it seems to me that the problem is that this site is Spamming and that mostlikely falls under SAPrint's policies about Spamming. I don't see how it is a technical or operational problem involving all of Sprint's Network services. Perhapse you should contact the operators of the supposed run amok sendmail and lean directly on them to stop sending you packets. You can allways put a filter in your router to block traffic from that host. Or maybe you should ask Sprint to apply the filter on their side of you DSx pipe. G
