Spammer That Sued Spamhaus Now Sued for Spamming

Dave Q. Lintard writes with a link to The Register's coverage of a suit against the spammer that sued Spamhaus. e360 Insight, as the company is known, is accused of using a botnet and compromised headers to get their 'advertising' into the mailboxes of the claimant. These are also the folks that tried to get the Illinois courts to suspend SpamHaus's domain registration when they wouldn't play by e 360's rules. 'e360 Insight sued Spamhaus after the anti-spam organisation blacklisted its domains over alleged spamming. In a default ruling made by an Illinois court in September 2006, Spamhaus was ordered to pay $11.7m in compensation to e360 Insight, pull the organisation's listing, and post a notice stating that it was wrong to say e360 Insight was involved in sending junk mail. UK-based Spamhaus did not defend the case and the ruling was made in its absence.'

    It is up to the plaintiff to declare that the courts hold no jurisdiction over them.
    Why would someone who initiates a lawsuit try to have it declared void? I'd certainly call that person a moron!

    I don't care what you meant, I'm not a mind reader - I responded to what you wrote. You screwed up, you got called - get over it.

    Re: Pointless name calling - I demand you immediately withdraw that groundless and malicious accusation or put up some evidence.
