There is a huge population of Spam offenders out there, and more action should be taken!! I would have to hear both sides of this, seeing how this sounds so one sided. I think that if the truth came out, it may not make the small company look so innocent, but we don't know that yet.</p> <p>John</p> I think that it’s good for Level3 as well, to have the strengh to stand up and take action, no matter how big or small the company is.

So that seems a normal path for complaints.</p> Andrew, I think the problems/complaints go to Level 3 directly since they control the IP addresses for the ISP.

If the backbone provider finds the problems before the ISP, that's a sign the ISP isn't pulling freight. I'm sure a lot of innocent customers were impacted but they should be questioning their ISP, not Level 3.</p> Good for level 3.
