[Mailman-Users] Our list serv host is threatening to shut us down for spam abuse

Thu Jun 16 17:39:16 EDT 2016

We have a community list-serv for local trade and community announcements
with a subscriber base of nearly 2200 people. Our police and city use it
for public service announcements, people use it for selling/trading
virtually anything (seal oil, outboards, guns, blue berries, you name it)
and is by subscription only.

If someone is not a member, they cannot post. When a member posts, it goes
to all others subscribers.

Any suggestions on how to answer this:

Here is the threat (hopefully I've removed personal emails from it):

Hello,

These cross promotion posts from your mailing list will need to cease or we
will not host you any further. We have mounting complaints from AOL, Yahoo
and Hotmail with some of which are now blocking the server you're on
specifically because of your mailings. This is not isolated to a single set
of users complaining it's a large amount that is enough for these providers
to take action. Here's an example of Hotmail complaining today:
