Jeff,

I pulled up http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=3DSBL100691 .
There is a rather long list at that page of offending IP addresses and
names. Just for grins, I picked one at random:

208.64.120.186 canadian-rx-store.org

I connected to 208.64.120.186 on TCP port 80 and finger-boned an HTTP
request for http://canadian-rx-store.org/ and the server responded as
I would expect a server configured with that name to respond.

canadian-rx-store.org? Really?

Before you cast too many stones, I think you have some work to do.

Regards,
Bill Herrin


P.S. Once this is all done and over with, may I respectfully suggest
you carefully review your customer acquisition process? The object
lessons are likely to get more expensive. Principals of a Virginia
company are not well shielded against liability for facilitating
unlawful prescription drug scams. Civil or criminal.
