Problems with my dedicated server

My dedicated server has been taken offline at around 11 AM yesterday because of the multiple spam complaints received by the hosting provider.

Here is what happened. One of my sites llfk.com is a short url redirection service that allows anyone turning their long urls into short ones (pretty much like tinyurl.com). Someone (I actually know who but will not be posting any names and web site urls here) used the service to create short url and used in in mass mailing.

So, after around 40 SPAM complaints, my server IP addresses were blocked by the ISP and it took more than 24 hours to get out of the mess and lift the ban.

I am very angry at what happened and most likely remove the short url redirection service from llfk.com. I am not making enough money from that service anyway.
