    And "open" relays should be banned. Period.

    Nevertheless Rogerio, we are not impressed and from discussions on
    other lists, this particular ISP has left a bad taste in everyones
    mouth. Each of us has various methods of dealing with this, and ATM
    I'm forwarding all such messages to abuse@uol.com.br. Its no doubt a
    black hole, but...

    The Fedora list has simply expunged all users from this ISP from the
    subscription lists, a self defense brought on by a C/R response from
    this twerp for every message posted, doubling the load on the servers.

    You see, the C/R responder this clueless twit has setup, is also
    expunging all traces of the source user from the headers of the
    messages, therefore we have no recourse against that user as an
    individual and must perforce blacklist, reject, or otherwise dispose of
    all messages comeing from that triplet of addresses that represent
    uol.com.br.

    If your messages are not getting through, then your choice as we see
    it, is to lean on your ISP and loan them a clue. Bat optional, but I'd
    take one along. Your call.
