If you'd had seen all the posts in demon.service (amongst others) about
a month ago they you'd know they were awful.  Someone (still on
Enterprise it would appear, c*nts) posted a load of email in someone
elses name, return address as demon.service@mail2news.demon.co.uk and
d.s was just full of people unwittingly posting the whole message again
with witty one liners such as "Fuck off", "Fuck off", "Fuck Off" and
sometimes "Fuck off you twat" etc, not good.

Start taking demon.service, I'm pretty sure they won't get rid of the
gateway totally, it's a pretty important service.  I don't recall the
specifics of any comments but it's pretty much that they block the sites
that appear to be sending the crap and there's not much else they can
do.
