You should sendmail to postmaster@interramp.com telling them that your
users are receiving unsolicited junk mail.  This is against the use
policies for many ISPs.

If you're really upset about it, tell them that if it doesn't stop you
will block mail from their domain because your users' requests that the
mail be stopped were not heeded by whoever was mailing them.

Your uses should also send mail to postmaster@interramp.com telling them
that they do not want the e-mail to be sent to them.

These freeloaders must be stopped!  Paying for a $19.95 per month account
does not give anybody the right to do mass advertising.  It ruins the net
experience for us all.
