I suspect that these customers have learnt that you are setting great store by SORBS's opinion that accepting email from Google is undesirable (which I think places you in a very small minority of mail service providers). If these customers are keen to receive email sent to them by their friends at Google then I cannot see that your service is suitable for their needs. Do you think this RIPE WG has a role in assisting them in seeking a refund ? That might be an interesting topic to explore. - -- richard Richard Clayton Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a Benjamin little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
