Lativa vs. Spamhaus



Once the block had been switched to its IP addresses, during its own spiky email exchange with Spamhaus, Latnet Serviss protested it should not be blocklisted because "we are one of the biggest internet providers in Latvia".
Spamhaus replied: "Ok. And Latvia is one of the smallest nations in the world."

Unbelievable... will some goverment at some point stop this nonsense ?

Another question that always comes to my mind -- why ISPs even listen to these people. Anyone with a good answer?

Because they loose money when people can't send email to yahoo or yahoo controlled MTA.
