I'm the postmaster for telis.org and campus.mci.net.  Thanks for the
report.  We suspended the account sunday and closed it monday.

A small but satisfying victory ... of course "Fool" possibly made a
fair amount of money for his/her trouble.  OTOH, Fool may get kicked
out of his/her university (that happens at Ohio State to a repeat
offender).

Moral: postmasters do care, do react (quickly!), and are proud to have
"clean systems".  Report abuse.
