If something goes wrong at the plant, blame the guy who can't speak English

It's sounds like you also don't know why there was a problem with the spam. We don't do "payback". Maybe that is more a term you are familiar with, but not me. I did just look at the username and password you had been using on your colo, and it was simple word that would be very susceptible to a dictionary attack. You should never use a single word for a password for a server. I still don't know what happened exactly in your case, but using an easy password certainly leaves room for the possibility you were compromised due to a weak password.
(Without revealing the password, it was something like "mickey" or "donald", so a 6 letter word)

As I said, read post #28.

@Jim - not exactly. You can read about our policies for the supporters forum here:
