There's nothing "wild" about it -- Paul is one of the most sober,
reasoned observers of the spam problem, and if he told me that
my servers were sending spam, then I'd darn well go investigate.

Right now.

Besides -- it's not like this isn't common knowledge in the anti-spam
world.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had unsatisfying correspondence
with register.com wherein they refuse to lift a finger to stop the abuse
from/facilitated by their operation.
