Infolink.com doesn't accept complaints on their abusive users via e-mails.
They want hard copies of complaints (not e-mails), that also include the
full name and a postal address (not even a P.O. Box) of the complainer.
P.S. Now they also want me to contact spammers directly to deal with my
spam complaints.
P.P.S. And now their abuse@ account bounces sending me to submit the spam
complaint on their web page: http://infolink.com/abuse/, and postmaster@
failed, at all. Then suddenly abuse@ bounces with advices to resend the
complaint to some stupid boxes like abuse20025@infolink.com.
P.P.P.S. Infolink is a Spamhaus ROKSO (terminated by at least 3 providers for
spamming) spammer (ROK1955)!
No e-mails from Infolink space is welcome here before their customer sends
a hard copy of their e-mail, including their full names and postal addresses
(no P.O. Boxes) to me.

Mr. Frederi108@aol.com:
We cannot pursue this issue with e-mail headers forwarded from an
anonymous user on the Internet who does not wish to reveal his
identity. As you are well aware these headers are easily modifiable
when forwarded.
You are requesting that we take action against a customer which we
have a legally binding contract with. In order to take such action, we
have a legal process we must go through to do so. Recent litigation
has upheld ISP customer rights to due process in similar situations.
If you really wish to assist us, an affidavit from you documenting the
issue will help us in commencing this process. On this note, we urge
you to reconsider your decision.
In addition, we wish to point out that we are not a "spam" friendly
ISP. We provide services to our clients based on our contracts with
them; we do not control their actions. If you have a problem with
their actions, we urge you to contact them directly. If we are aware
of illegal activities our customers are conducting in relation to the
services we provide to them, we will take appropriate action.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate
to call us.
Yours truly,
Infolink Network Administration

Rather than have your legal counsel pester me, why not just deal with
your spammers to get the SPEWS listing removed?
PS: www.google.com - do a search on infolink.com, narrow the search
down to news.admin.net-abuse.email for the specific newsgroup. Your
counsel will get all the info they need.

Of course, you understand that we (tanw) cannot accept e-mails from
the Infolink anonymous users who don't wish to reveal their identities.
Please, ensure that your every user sends a hard copy of their full
name and a mailing address (no P.O. Boxes, please) first, before ever
trying to send e-mails. Please, ensure that they do it via express
mail services, cause the matter they wanted to talk via e-mail might
be expired while the regular mail reaches us (tanu).
Welcome to my access.db. I do not accept e-mails from those, who don't
accept complaints of their network abuse by e-mails, as well.

Its late, im drunk, and im not sure what is suggested with this
infolink.com LART reply, but it seems to me like they're asking me to
contact the spammers directly to unsubscribe. Am I just growing
paranoid (which wouldnt surprise me)? Paging big (or just sober)

=== Infolink / Prieur Leary III is a Spamhaus ROKSO spammer (ROK1955)! ===
=== http://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/evidence.lasso?rokso_id=ROK1955 ===
Country: United States State: Florida
Main Info ROK1955
Prieur Leary's Infolink Communication Services, Inc. (64.251.0.0/19) initially
got bandwidth from Yipes.com circa February 2002. Infolink (and Yipes) ignored
tremendous numbers of spam reports for months on end. When E-xpedient.com
bought that chunk of Yipes circa late June 2002, they continued spam hosting
and were booted in a week or so.
Next, Infolink headed for WCG.net, and commenced routing there during early
July. It may have looked like a tasty morsel to Williams, but they soon
realized it had a bitter aftertaste. It took until August 21 2002 before the
mallet swung at WCG.
Then UU.net took a whack at at it. By August 21, Infolink was already spamming
via that route. That lasted until about August 28, and it was three strikes
and they were in ROKSO.
But other networks are still willing to experience the thrill of a flooded
abuse queue, it seems, and these persistent spammers are still on the air.
There was apparently a route via cw.net during August 28 and 29, but as of
August 29 they seem to have transit via host.net, go-net.net, and go-intl.net,
downstream of Verio.net.
Among Infolink's notorious partners in spam, Infolink hosts Eddy Marin
(OneRoute.net), John Ritzer, and Daniel Amato.
Friday, 6 September, 2002:
Off of Verio; routes now go through CW.net, then Yipes.com, and into Infolink.
Wednesday, 25 September, 2002:
Back to Verio, AS2914 hands off to Infolink's AS15083.

Spam-No Spam-Spam saga ROK2687
In 2002, Prieur J. Leary, III, CEO of Infolink, wrote Spamhaus claiming they'd
kicked off all spammers and were "going clean".
--- From Prieur J. Leary ---
8. Although Infolink did in the past have customers that used the Infolink
network to send out bulk e-mail (they maintain it was opt-in), Infolink does
not have any customers that engage in the practice of sending out bulk opt-in
or unsolicited e-mail. This has been the case since August 21, 2002.
---/ From Prieur J. Leary ---
This has changed in 2003, Infolink again hosts spammers and refuses to
terminate. SBL listing of Infolink turned back on.
