Ah, I knew this was coming.
For the record:
Digex.net does not do any sort of web hosting. Digex.com does not do any sort of leased line sales.
Digex.net is Intermedia. Digex.com is Digex, the web hosting arm of Worldcom.
and I'm hoping that everybody realizes that the digex.net/icix.net folks have nothing to do with this whatsoever. I have no idea if digex.com knew what they were getting into with this. I hope they did not. Please, though, don't harrass/mailbomb us IBI/digex.net folks. We're innocent. I swear.
Intermedia is clued WRT abuse. (If they weren't, I wouldn't be an IBI reseller.) In fact the person who is more or less in charge of abuse over there is a friend of mine and is at least a lurker here -- However, although I have the pleasure of knowing some of the people on the UUNET abuse team - and there are plenty of people there who take joy in thwacking spam and spammers - I don't know if they have any authority over the other Worldcom divisions. Supposedly, if a UUNET sales droid spams, they get spanked pretty hard. But this is Digex, not UUNET. It is important to note that while they still use digex.net, IBI's name is Intermedia Business Internet. Digex *is* strictly hosting, and I've been corrected by my friend the abuse czar more than once. Digex != IBI; IBI != Digex. Digex is part of the "Degeneration D" Collective. HTH.
