I received this spam this morning. As of 6:41am, it wasn't fixed. I didn't test it *right* before I sent the e-mail, but I really didn't have a reason to assume it had been fixed between 6:40 and 10am (when I sent my original post..), considering that I have been e-mailing them for over a week now and nothing has been done.

I know this because I have been getting spammed by someone using them for the past week. I have tried e-mailing abuse@earthlink.net several times and have received no response.
I'm hoping a clueful Earthlink admin will see this post and take the appropriate action. If not, then maybe Earthlink should be "nominated" for RBL.
They must have fixed it (or you didn't test it). Lets not be too hasty. Sam
