Does the name 'Ed Kelleher' ring any bells?

Fellow computer tinkerers, I had a recent E-mail exchange with a fellow named Ed Kelleher, apparently the president of a company called 'Macro-Inc.com.' They appear to sell overpriced (to my eyes, anyway) DEC systems and parts. What had happened was that I had found, in my mail server logs, entries which showed that Mr. Kelleher had tried to send me something, only to have it bounced repeatedly due to the fact that I'm currently blocking traffic from the biz.rr.com domain (this last due to RR.Com's utter lack of response to ongoing spam, port probes, and other abuse coming from their network). I sent him a polite note advising him of what I'd found, and asking him to please re-send the message to my backup address, which is not spam-filtered in any way that I know of. It worked -- sort of. I got back a very terse -- I would actually call it rude -- reply to the effect that he'd tried to send whatever he was sending five times, with and without attachments, and had finally given up. In his words "I don't care to send it again. Stupid policy of yours." This tells me right away that he has absolutely no concept of what I, as a self-hosted SysAdmin, go through each and every DAY, trying to protect my network effectively against outside abuse. That point aside, I sent back another polite request, saying that I'm sorry he felt that way, and asking that he please not blame me for doing what I felt necessary to protect my tiny corner of the Internet. I also asked him if he would consider at least telling me what it was he was trying to send. No response yet, of course. I'm not sure I'll ever see one. Based on what I saw of his company's web site, though, I suspect that what he had to send may have been of minimal value in any case (possibly even spam). Has anyone on the list had any contact with this person or his company? The vast majority of people that I've asked to re-send their original message have no problem with it, and are fully understanding of why their initial attempts might have been blocked. What's gotten into this fellow that he can't seem to understand the view from my side, especially considering that he sells (and presumably works with) computer goodies? Insights and opinions welcomed. Thanks much. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner & Head Hardware Heavy, Blue Feather Technologies -- http://www.bluefeathertech.com kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech do/t c=o=m "If Salvador Dali had owned a computer, would it have been equipped with surreal ports?"
