Because your mail servers are broken. Because you put spamfilters on your
abuse@ mailbox, IF you even have an abuse@, which a lot of you don't.
Because we tried calling, and your tier1 are clueless.
Fix your mailservers. Train your staff. Staff your abuse desk. Then we'll
talk.
If your network didn't spew sewage into peoples mailboxes, and if you
actually took action on abusive customers, this wouldn't be a problem.
Some providers have responsive abuse desks. For the rest, well thats what
RBL are for I guess.
