| "Spamming is the scourge of electronic-mail
and newsgroups on the Internet. It can seriously
interfere
with the operation of public services, to say nothing
of the effect it may have on any individual's e-mail
mail system. ... Spammers are, in effect, taking resources
away from users and service suppliers without compensation
and without authorization." --
Vint Cerf, Senior Vice President, MCI
and acknowleged "Father of the Internet"
Due to the emergence of bulk Unsolicited Commercial
Email (UCE, also commonly known as 'SPAM'), Global
OnLine has been forced to deny the ability to deliver
mail from certain domains on the Internet in order
to protect its network and maintain service availability.
In general this is done only after repeated attempts
to resolve these situations with the owners of these
domains have failed to produce any solution. However
the nature of some mail-based attacks on the GOL network
is such that such blocks may be placed on short or
no notice.
GOL thus cannot guarantee email connectivity with
any arbitrary email address on the Internet.
