SpamCop To Be Sold To IronPort?

Posted by simoniker on from the TwoWord-ComPanies dept.

Iphtashu Fitz writes "InfoWorld is reporting that SpamCop is about to be sold to IronPort Systems for an undisclosed amount of money. According to the InfoWorld article, the announcement will be made on Nov. 25, and will include IronPort investing $1 million in SpamCop to keep the service up and running. IronPort apparently makes use of the SpamCop DNS blocklist in their spam filtering products and this move is seen as a way to help support SpamCop and formalize their relationship. IronPort is reported as stating that the SpamCop blocklist data will remain freely available to the public."

    Well, being a Python geek, near as I can tell it takes a simple, refined scripting language and API and complicates the fuck out of it.

    Not a fan of stackless.
