Bugger

Just received an email from Ozemail warning me that I have violated my AUP by sending spam. Apparently I sent it from my hotmail adderss that I never post from and it was traced to my ozemail account.

So if I vanish, I've been killed due to AUP violations.

Update The notification came from Ozemail's parent company, Worldcom

They don't realize folks spoof hotmail addresses?

The worry is that my ozemail address doesn't appear on my Hotmail profile.

sounds about right for worldcom's wonderful customer service.

Aren't they the ones who are under investigation for financial troubles right now?

Yep. For pulling profit figures out of their arse.

So show 'em a copy of your recent paper on the ethics of spam and say you're actually one of the good guys. They'll back off.

Harumph, I say, Harumph!

WHAT?!!!!

Around here they are in *NO* position to accuse anybody- they are facing billions of dollars in fraud charges as well as bankruptcy, and they are trying to do you?! Talk about desperate measures
on a ship with bomb crater sized holes........I'd keep the letter as proof that even corporations who fire the CFO are still money grubbing swine. At least here in the states. I would not want to be any sort of employee of theirs of any standing right now.

And MCI used to be in with them as thick as thieves. Go figure.
