Aaron,

I didn't mean to be a poo, I just knew he.net didn't sell their customer
contact info.

I work with spam a lot (every day) and so I've seen this all before.

A good place to check to see if spam things are true is a newsgroup called:
news.admin.net-abuse.email (NANAE)

You can google them and see if their is any info on who you suspect to be
sending you spam.  he.net has a bad track record but it's cleaned up A LOT
in the last 12 months and that's why I would have been so surprised if they
were sending or supporting spam.

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this though.  If they had been spamming
you can bet I would have worked on moving our 20 boxes out pretty darn
quick!
