Caused me to cancel my Netcom account. I am a former employee of Dave
Garrison, CEO of Netcom. Knowing his personal opinion of spam I don't
see how his systems management team has been able to get away with
having open relay hosts.
My inquiries to Netcom customer support were spun off as a
misconfiguration of my mail client (shrug).
Considering Netcom's anti-spam "statement", their position on relaying
seems to be extremely hypocritical.
Hopefully, some resolution will be forthcoming...
Cheers,
Jerry Hicks
