sortie

The thing about it is that if he had legitimate issues then he would
have been the best cutomer alive because he would have reported
every single problem that needed to be fixed.

But he never managed to find a single problem except his own
server and his own incompetence.

He made insane accusations that my script was sending out spam and
I spent almost 8 hours that day proving that it was impossible.

The reason it took so long for me to prove it is that he said his server
admin claimed the script was sending spam. So I dug into my scripts
real hard looking for the hole and when I absoultey could not find a
hole, I challenged his server admin to show me logs where my script
accessed /usr/lib/sendmail. It can't send email without that.
Then he relented and admitted that he didn't really have a server admin
and a friend suggested that.
