If you don't lock your server up tight as a drum, there are many people out there who will hijack your server, steal your bandwidth, and then let YOU deal with the repercussions. Spammers don't just broadcast millions of unwanted messages, they steal and hijack workstations and servers.

If you have an un-managed server, then I believe you are responsible. If you pay Webair maintain and manage the server, I'm not sure how they can bitch.
