[epub] RE: Hosting - what is good notice?

Depends on their history with abuse handling. As a general 
rule, what I like to see is:

1. They boot spammers.
2. They define spam as UBE.
3. They want proof before applying the boot.

Ummm... One *business day* makes sense. It's generally safe to 
assume you're not sending a lot of mail unattended while on 
acation. If you are, and have everything on follow-up 
autoresponders with confirmations required, the chance of 
problems is small.

Still, always back up everything before going on vacation. Too 
many things happen when you're not looking.

What I'd like to know from that host is, what do they require 
as proof that the complaint isn't valid? ie, That you're 
really not spamming (assuming you're not).

BTW, that's the generic "you." I would be surprised if you 
personally were spamming, Maria. ;)
