Lots of respectable EU hosting companies, and also aparently OVH, if they think there's a chance you're taking the piss will ask for a ID so they can ban you. It's not just anti-spam, it's anti-abuse and for preventing non-payment. They think there was a risk involved in accepting your business (whatever that may be, obviously companies don't dilvulge their criteria here), and if you go elsewhere they're not upset about it for that reason.
Good. I'm sick of all those ddos attack and bot attacks from other cloud provides like alibaba etc.
