The head of an organization that fights unwanted bulk e-mail said Friday that an Illinois company will remain on its block list despite a court order and a steep monetary judgment.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Spamhaus Project, an international anti-spam organization, to pay $11.7 million in damages to Wheeling-based e360 Insight LLC for blacklisting the company.

Spamhaus is right...the Illinois court has no jurisdiction on the UK based company. I assume spamhaus simply made the decision to ignore them from the beginning and didn't even hire a local attourney. Good move imho...don't waste money. I use spamhaus on my servers...never been a problem.
