This person thinks they are so special. They ran filters to REMOVE duplicates, and
certain domains where spam should never be sent(other than every domain known), and they

Unfortunately for maindrag.com, they are now suffering the additional negative
repercussions that accompany spamming. Since they are merely a HOSTING company
this can really hurt them. This is PERFECT proof about what is wrong with spamming
and why spamming is a theft of resouces. Maindrag.com in my opinion is a
