So less than 24 hours after the previous post and someone, mysteriously, subscribed the abuse mailbox to > 2,000 newsletters.. Of course I do not have proof nor am interested on who’s behind this and it didn’t cause any bad, just good (gave me plenty of data to research). Also, it seems every time I tweet about Web Iron, more e-mails arrive. The people behind this “attack” didn’t even bother to hide their IPs.. I thought they could use Tor to at least make me think Tor is evil and bad and I should block it.. :-)
How many IPs? That behavior screams "botnet" to me :)
Anyways.. Yeah.. Web Iron seems aggressive in their replies.

I have had an e-mail conversation with a Webiron employee. I don't want to give details without permission, but in a nutshell, this was what I understood:
Webiron is indeed completely aware of what Tor is. Webiron thinks that the abuse via Tor outweighs privacy concerns. Webiron is unwilling to exclude Tor exits from their automated checks, and is also unwilling to mitigate the perceived problem on their end.
I'd like to add that the tone of the e-mails I received was quite aggressive, threatening "blocking your whole business". I pointed out this mailing list, but I have not heard any feedback beyond that.
After several months of automated complaints, I feel that I have not much choice, and I am now ignoring Webiron completely.
