iPowerweb is a spammer rathole

Honestly, I'm surprised iPowerweb did anything at all. Every spam report I've ever sent them has disappeared into Dave Null's inbox, never to be seen again (for the Unix beginners, and others who may not know, that's a playful reference to /dev/null, a built-in black hole present in any Unix-type system in that anything sent to it simply disappears).

I finally stopped bothering with reporting spammer crap to them, and firewalled their entire IP address range out of our network permanently. I would recommend that others who run their own networks do the same.

In short, they seem not to care who abuses their networks, or how much abuse goes from their networks to others, as long as they get their monthly fees.

In the SysAdmin world, we call that kind of behavior "black-hat" and "block-and-forget."

Keep the peace(es).
