That's not surprising.

Reverse the wires, the rest of the internet would appreciate it.

You missed the point of my previous email.  Thousands of hours are wasted
by engineers dealing with abuse that is not insignificantly caused by
Charter.

And now "Charter" (not you, but Charter) is asking for some free accounts
so they can enhance their "mail complex."

You *are* Charter and netops *is* a two-way street, please act
accordingly.  Don't just say it isn't your department because guess what,
it's all of our departments.
