AGIS seems to condone SPAM.  I plan to filter all traffic from
205.137.48.0 - 205.137.63.0
I also am petitioning Sprint and anyone else who peers with AGIS to
cease connectivity.  Here's some of an autoresponse I got after
complaining about spam from their domain:


Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for taking the time to write to AGIS with your concerns.  

[...]

It is our position that the Internet is an open marketplace, where
commerce
of any and all kinds may take place in accordance with public demand. 
We
do not believe censorship is the responsibility of an Internet service
provider.  It is not our place to censor customers' content or
legitimate
business practices.  Messages originating from customer's sites reflect
the
opinions of our customers and not necessarily those of AGIS.

SUGGESTIONS
AGIS is a pro-active organization with goals of delivering the highest
quality solutions in support of the Internet's mission critical
applications.  Since we believe in continuous improvement, we will
re-evaluate our position in light of the any new regulatory
developments.

We appreciate that our position may not be agreeable to everyone. 
Further,
we understand your interest in seeking a solution.  With that in mind,
may
we suggest the following options:

END-USERs - A variety of e-mail and filtering software packages are
available on the Internet for end-users.  For example, Eudora and
procmail
offer sufficient protection from e-mail of your undesired Internet
sites.  
 
ISPs - Your mail servers and/or router systems to can be set to reject
incoming spam or filter out offensive sites at the IP level.  Sendmail
and
ccmail are a few examples of good systems which perform these
functions.  

Again, we would like to thank you for your valuable input, and wish you
continued success in your Internet experience.

Please look at our web site www.agis.net for any new information.

Best Regards,

        The AGIS Staff
