I've not seen it. I've had no trouble posting to NANOG.
I've gotten spammed by one UUNet employee, and it was a while ago.
The guy was a flaming idiot (which I think is a prerequisite to sell for
UUNet). I actually called and cussed him out, and he swore up and down
that UUNet doesn't spam. (Whatever.)
Regardless, this is probably better posted on SPAM-L... not here.

The only Worldcom unit I'll do business with is Intermedia. They're
white-hat (shiny white-hat) WRT spam and network abuse, and my Intermedia
sales rep is clued and quite responsive. (E-mailed him, and he called me
back within 15 minutes.)
And I was an Intermedia reseller before they were snapped up by Worldcom.
