Just received this from an abuse desk after a Spamcop complaint to a "Canadian
pharmacy" spammer:

| Hi, Sorry about that. The client running this instance has been
| contacted and an abuse response process is active. If the client does
| not respond with a satisfactory explanation and golden promises of
| being a better person we will automatically block and shut down this
| service. S/he has time until 2022-04-11 11:11:11.292684 to respond.

So hopefully the account is down by now, although being a pill spammer he
won't bother, having plenty more.

I found the timestamp funny (it wasn't "11:11:11.292684" in the mail; I
altered it for privacy reasons). Wondering what the ISP does if the
spammer promised so be a better person at 11:11:11.292684 + 1 micro
second. Suppose the account is going to /dev/null too. *g*
