ChibiTaryn's Journal: DIE EARTHVISTA SPAMMERS! DIE!!!

*cough*

I've been having a.. problem.

Every now and then, I go help out at a local high school. I do odd jobs, fix computers, do a little data entry, etc, whatever is required. It's not much, but it's a little money, and that's good

Last time I was down there, it was bought to my attention that children have been recieving spam. So what, I hear you all say..... everybody does! Yes, that's true, but what concerned me was the nature of the spam recieved.... highly adult stuff, the last one involving a girl and a horse.... and she was riding the horse, if you know what I mean.....o_O

Considering that some of the students are as young as 12 at the school, and that we are required to keep this stuff out of the hands of children, I got a little pissed off. And so the hunt begins...

After less than an hour of searching, I found them on the SPEWS database, I found out a bunch of stuff by whoising their domain and IP address, found them a *lot* under the names "Mail By Request Co" "EarthVista Networks" and "E Vision Networks" and I eventually traced them to the "Globix Corporation" who I promptly sent an e-mail to, at their abuse department.

The spammer just responded, denying that they're spamming at all, yadda yadda. They claim that they will remove people from their mailing list if they are requested to do so, so I've decided to be reasonably civil and simply request the removal of the entire school domain.

Eagerly awaiting a response. If they spam the school again, I'll be making a *lot* of fucking noise!
