Blueyonder turned me off

Following the sending of 30,000 emails, Blueyonder switched me off today.
They've done it before a few weeks ago but obviously didn't leave notes on my account to avoid a repetition.
So of course I phoned support to get myself switched back on.
I asked the guy whether he needed me to forward him a copy of the email so he can verify it's not spam. "I'll already have a copy in my inbox", he said. "I'm a member of the AV Forums".

I wonder if that dickhead Juboy reported you for spamming . He's made snide remarks on tripe in the past about your emails being spam.

How long did you have to spend on the phone before they answered it?

About 1/4 of people have the email facility turned off.
