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. -- David G.
