Of course, perhaps its a way for Qwest to increase revenue. As follows from Qwest's TOS page, section 3 http://www.qwest.net/nav4/acct_tools/con/account.html Among other things, the AUP prohibits sending unsolicited e-mail messages including bulk commercial advertising or informational announcements ("Spam") and Qwest will immediately terminate any account which it believes, in its sole discretion, is transmitting or is otherwise connected with any Spam. In addition, because damages are often difficult to quantify, if actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated then you agree to pay Qwest liquidated damages of five dollars ($5.00) for each piece of spam or unsolicited bulk e-mail transmitted from or otherwise connected with your account, otherwise you agree to pay Qwest's actual damages, to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably calculated. 5 Bucks a pop, and if your sending 1000's of em lol Cheers -Joe

Looks like SPAMHAUS has 'em. RBL and MAPS have 'em too.

I just love it when all come together as a community ;-).
