Handling Procedure
In order to assist us in responding to complaints as quickly as possible,
anybody should forward the spam mail complaint with complete headers to
[email protected]
Typically when receiving a complaint, Speedy Group will forward it with a
warning notice to the corresponding customer for a response and complete
resolution. If the problem cannot be resolved within a period of 48 hours from
the warning notice, Speedy Group will apply full traffic and/or DNS blocking to
the IP address and/or domain name involved in the UBE/UCE complaint. The
problem is considered resolved only after Speedy Group is convinced with a
response of complete resolution with support evidence from the customer. Any
full traffic and/or DNS blocking of IP address shall prevent the customer from
sending or receiving traffic to and from such IP address and/or domain name.
Upon receiving warning notice from Speedy Group, the customer should promptly
investigate the UBE/UCE complaints.
If Speedy Group receives repeat complaints indicating that a problem has still
not been resolved, Speedy Group will apply full traffic and/or DNS blocking to
the IP address and/or domain name again and, in its sole discretion, keep the
blocking for at least 7 days or 30 days after Speedy Group is convinced that the
problem is resolved.
Customer is responsible for itself and its customers/end-users for UBE/UCE that
passes through its connection to Speedy Group.
Speedy Group’s escalation depends on the case severity not time basis. When
severe spam complaints are received, escalation will be applied and IP/DNS may
be blocked in less than 48 hours. Bigger IP range will be blocked in case of IP
hopping.
If situation does not improve for continued abuse, service suspension or
termination will be arranged by Speedy Group in its discretion.
