A question for the ISP community in general, with relevant company names removed. A domain hosting company offers a service to paying clients, whereby any email sent to u s e r n a m e @ c l i e n t - d o m a i n . c o m . a u is forwarded through to u s e r n a m e @ i s p . c o m . a u Said company has a large number of clients, who forward to a particular ISP. ISP.com.au's mail servers notice that over half the mail coming from the hosting company's MX servers is SPAM, and blacklist said servers. Those servers aren't originating the spam as such, but they are relaying it. Does the domain hosting company have any responsibility to not relay spam? After all, their clients are paying for all the email to be forwarded. Does the ISP have to put up with said spam, instead of just blacklisting the servers, and suggesting that affected clients change domain hosting company? prk. ---- email "unsubscribe aussie-isp" to m a j o r d o m o @ a u s s i e . n e t to be removed. |
