[thelist] Spam Cop??

[Koutoulas, Pete]

Anyone here have any experience with these guys? (spamcop.net) I just got a
"second notice" from them. They say they have gotten complaints on me and if
they get another one they will "block my network." They give no specific
information about the "complaints" but say it could be "open mail ports,
violations of our acceptable use policy, and other various complaints. Email
us for more information."

The last time I got one of these, I did email them -- three times -- and
never received a response.

So who are these guys? Who elected them the cops of the Internet? And what
do they mean when they say they will "block my network?" Can they do that?
And why the heck should I be concerned about *their* acceptable use policy?

The irony here is I detest spam and have never ever ever spammed anyone. I
feel like a victim of big brother.
