AGIS has not knowingly signed up any new spammers. Our sales people now
qualify new sales as *not* being spammers. We only have to worry about
existing customers becoming spammers, and new customers lying about there
business before we hook them up. If somebody is somehow able to send bulk
email (not spam) without complaints (i.e. opt-in, etc.), then they can
email all they want. If we receive complaints at abuse@agis.net, then we
take appropriate action.
