This is completely incorrect. AGIS' AUP can be found at www.agis.net. We are vigorously enforcing our AUP. AGIS will not sell connectivity to UCE businesses, and have not for some time. We investigate all complaints about AGIS' customers that are sent to abuse@agis.net. Spammers have been terminated, and will continue to be as long as I run this company.
So this evenings trace, which timed out, to a ubiquitous spam host 'savoynet.com' does NOT feed through AGIS.net? Oh, savoynet.com is under investigation. Oh, well. I guess more 'evidence' needs to be gathered... How long do these 'investigations' last, pray tell?
