John D. Reagan has made this objection to the presence of Cyberkingemployment.com in the Rhyolite Software list of unwelcome domains. That objection was obtained from a dccm logdir file, because mail from Cyberkingemployment.com to rhyolite.com is rejected to the DCC.
Cyberkingemployment.com is in the Rhyolite Software list of unwelcome domains because of the unsolicited bulk mail contained in this complaint.
Mr. Reagan also sent this additional mail message.
On Monday, April 29, at about 18:35 MDT, I received a telephone call from someone identifying himself as John Reagan. He made about the same demands and threats as he made in mail on March 5. I offered to change anything that is factually incorrect, but he only demanded that I remove all of these web pages. His concern apparently continues to be that Google is indexing them. When I asked how he happened to send me the unsolicited bulk mail that he freely admitted sending in his mail, he hypothesized it happened bcause of a virus. My guess is that he or his agents obtained my address from domain contact records, but he vehemently denies that possibility. Mr. Reagan kept making statements that sounded like threats, but denying they were threats until the end. Then he said he was going visit Federal District Court tomorrow to spend $2500, and asked about my address. I told him it is on the web pages, said goodbye, and hung up. Once he starts making legal noises, anything we say to each other must be through our lawyers. (I now realize I spoke in haste. To find my address, he needs to check the whois database for rhyolite.com or use some other directory. Since he was able to find my telephone number, I doubt he'll have any problem finding my address.)
Four months after Mr. Reagan's telephone call, yet another mail message arrived followed by a telephone call. In them, Mr. Reagan insists that he is the victim of a fraud, He now believes the original spam was in fact not sent by his organization, and some sort of technical mechanisms were used to in some sense steal his web site and send mail from his IP address or domain name.
As long as no more spam from Cyberkingemployment.com or threats from him are received here, it doesn't hurt to withhold judgement or give him the benefit of the doubt. Of course, that benefit does not erase the original unsolicited bulk mail and so has nothing to do with the Rhyolite Software list of unwelcome domains.
Mr. Reagan has periodically made additional telephone calls, generally requesting help in tracing spam. In most of his calls, he has said that other people had hijacked or stolen the Cyberkingemployment web site and were responsible for the unsolicited bulk mail received at Rhyolite Software and elsewhere.
On February 7, 2003, he asked that the all information about Cyberkingemployment be removed, because he says there is proof about concerning the people responsible for stealing his web site and data for more than a year.

Contrary to Mr. Reagan's complaint, there are no "links" to Cyberkingemployment.com on web pages among those starting at http://www.rhyolite.com, at least not as the term "links" is commonly understood. Before Mr. Reagan's complaint and the creation of these pages, there were only entries for Cyberkingemployment.com in lists of unwelcome domains. There are still no HTML hyperlinks to any web pages at Cyberkingemployment.com. Perhaps Mr. Reagan does not understand how search engines work and has discovered that they find lists of domains whose mail is unwelcome at Rhyolite Software at the same time they find Mr. Reagan's web pages. No one at Rhyolite Software controls any search engines or influences what URLs search engines list near other URLs. Of course, it is not certain that Mr. Reagan is talking search engine listings.
Probably also contrary to Mr. Reagan's complaint, there is no blacklist at Rhyolite Software except for lists of domains whose mail is not welcome at Rhyolite Software. Given Mr. Reagan's admission that his organization did send spam to addresses at rhyolite.com (see his initial objection) it does not seem likely that mail from Cyberkingemployment.com will ever be welcome at Rhyolite Software. However, should someone with a mail address at Cyberkingemployment.com ever need to contact someone at rhyolite.com, it would be good for them to know that they need to use means other than email from Cyberkingemployment.com and why. No matter what the cause of the unsolicited bulk mail, that spam is sufficient reason to make mail from cyberkingemployment.com unwelcome at rhyolite.com until someone at rhyolite.com discovers a new reason to receive mail from Cyberkingemployment.com.
Contrary to Mr. Reagan's threats of legal action, it seems at plausible that the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of Rhyolite Software to refuse mail from Mr. Reagan and his organization and to say why.
Mr. Reagan's threat of a lawsuit ensures and requires that email from Cyberkingemployment.com not be accepted by the MX servers for rhyolite.com. All future communication from Mr. Reagan or Cyberkingemployment.com must be directed to the Rhyolite Software lawyers.
