Net abuse complaint: Is Your Web Site A Secret?
I have received the following at several addresses on my domains and am
now also receiving copies via mailing lists. This is clear evidence that
the perpetrator is fishing for addresses in the lists. Previous complaints
have failed to stop the flow of unwanted messages so I am now appealing to
the next hop up the traceroute, nya.net.
I beseech you to login to the appropriate router and reconfigure it so
that owlsnest.com becomes a secret. In other words: pull the plug on this
fool!
Some of us depend on the Internet to earn an honest living and the
spammers are ruining our workplace. For further information visit:
http://www.abuse.net and consider participating in their efforts to fight
spam and other forms of net abuse.
