[QCLUG] Mediacom silliness

[David D. Bergert]

Revealnet or Han Solo.net should work to have themselves removed from some
of the Spam block lists, it is more likely that Mediacom and other ISP's use
RBL's rather then individually created ones to gain market dominance in the
quad cities especially against linux users, who Mediacom wouldn't be able to
install on anyway ;) ;) ;)

Subject: [QCLUG] Mediacom silliness

All of us Internet Revealed customers have had a hard time recently. The 
storm seems to be over for most of us, but there is one issue left. 
During all this someone with a Revealed address unwittingly became a 
spammer (that's the one that got the FBI involved, I think). Mediacom 
blocked ALL of Revealed's network. The problem has since been fixed, but 
Mediacom won't talk to Revealed or unblock them. I just sent a test to 
an mchsi address and got a failure notice. This means that I can't 
communicate with anyone with a mchsi address. It also means none of the 
rest of you folks with Revealed addresses can either.

There is no person at Mediacom to talk to, and they're not answering 
Revealed's emails. I understand competition, but this seems like going 
too far, like dirty pool. After all, it's not Mediacoms Internet.

I was told when I phoned them that the address at Mediacom is 
"abuse@mchsi.com". If as many people as possible would email them and 
POLITELY ask them to remove the block, it might help. Most especially if 
you are a Mediacom customer. It might even be interesting if they got a 
lot of phone calls, too. hehehehe

Thanks for the soapbox.

Jim
