</div>It'd be interesting to know what your customers think of this<br>
"intervention". Do they welcome that their ISP has detected a problem<br>
and wants to help them or is it viewed as an unwelcome impost?<br>
<br>
It's a difficult situation that I don't envy. You're trying to solve a<br>
problem you didn't create, you're trying to do the right thing for<br>
your customers, your network and the general good, but the consumer<br>
probably sees it as an inconvenience and a possible cost.<br>
<br>
I imagine the "messaging" has a lot to do with the consumer<br>
response.<br>
<br>
If I mis-remember, Earthlink used to be pretty pro-active like this<br>
and did a pretty good messaging job in the email space: here's one<br>
example<br>
<a href="http://support.earthlink.net/articles/email/email-blocked-by-earthlink.php" target="_blank">http://support.earthlink.net/articles/email/email-blocked-by-earthlink.php</a><br>
