I was attempted, as I have successfully done in the past, to contact an ISP to report a spammer on their network.
In this instance I was emailing David Kopacz, the CTO of ASPWebHosting (CEO is Stacey Kopacz) regarding one of their clients that has a website on ASPW... network. This client has a felony conviction for hacking into servers and served jailtime, but that isn't the point (yes they hosted the website when he was convicted).
Anyhow, I had several emails with David Kopacz. He was extremely hostile. Nothing like I have seen ever before when reporting a spammer. Most ISPs are grateful. David was not. David was extremely rude, condescending and even pointed to his "CONFIDENTIAL NOTICE" and said he would sue me if I used anything from his emails, even if it was the truth.
Here was his email:
"I noticed that in addition to your hints of blogging your twisted version of my response, you also deliberately removed our confidentiality note from the bottom of my emails addressed to you. I urge you to use extreme caution if you choose to blog about our company or anything I have emailed to you. We will not hesitate to use all remedies available via our federal justice system to stop the disemination [sic] of private communications, slander and libel."
Litigation is expensive. Govern yourself accordingly.
