Can I sue SPEWS for DNS - if they are stopping my emails reaching the people I send them to.

Yes I realise their action is aimed at getting Telewest to deal with the problem.

Being a Telewest broadband customer I have been experiencing many probes trying to access my computer.

So, yes Telewest should advise customers sending SPAM, that their systems are infected.

However, a better approach for Telewest may be to identify and chop the source of the 'probes' that are being sent to try and get control of my system.

I would suggest redirecting identified SPAM to those sources but, under current law, that would probably make Telewest liable to prosecution for DNS activities

Finally, thank you; No I don't want any more spam or intrusion attempts
