SWBell is the single largest ISP hosting spammers reaching me. I took
the RBL's down on my system for a day, and I recieved nearly 6 times
as much spam from open proxies and relays in SWBell territory than
from all of China, Korea and Taiwan combined. SWBell is also totally
unresponsive to spamming complaints.
