Thought so.

Yeah, their philosophy is wacky. I subscribe to the "better than a
hundred guilty men go free..." theory.

They can be a little crazy. One time they identified a "spammer" (they
were incorrect) and simply blocked the sender's entire class B network
block. Not the best solution IMHO.

My friends solved the problem by simply not sending mail through them. I
think it will take a lot of people doing something like that to change
their behavior, their management doesn't care if you talk to the tech
guys all day, as they are paying them anyway.

I can certainly understand why it would not be Isaac's highest priority.

Don't they have some way to whitelist a site?
