UUNet Is The Number 1 Spam Host

An anonymous reader submits "Statistics for February have UUnet leading the Spamhaus top 10 worst Spam ISPs chart. The Register point out that ISPs like UUnet and Abovenet continue to host spammers despite advertising anti-spam AUPs." And the competition is probably wishing they had as much luck.

[laymil]

The easiest way to stop spam is as follows:

Step 1: Buy an aluminum baseball bat.
Step 2: Find spammer.
Step 3: Beat spammer with aluminum baseball bat.
Step 4: Sell what is left of spammer to Hormel, makers of spam.
Step 5: Deposit money into legal fund for defense against spam. (Baseball bat Distribution center)

I know that everyone is going to read the parent post and think what a funny and great idea it is. Well, it's not. A nice solid wood bat is the right way to go. It'll be heavier and will get your point across in much less swings.

I just cancelled my subscription to UUNET

After reading this, I'd rather go with AOL than some bastard ISP that allows spam to exist. Screw you UUNET.

What, are you training to be an editor here? All you need now is some trollish editorial at the end of your link, some misspelling, and you'll be well on your way!

Time for ISP's to take responsiblity.

[aldridge]

Its time for ISP's to take responsiblity for the shit that they host. Didint Gates say that spam will be dead by 2006? ( http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/01/24/tech/mai n595595.shtml). Time to start breaking down doors Bill. I guess he could just use a backdoor in to the spammers running windows.

Do you believe that being boastful in your sig has anything to do with real credibility? You should check your vanity and leave your background to your user page where it belongs. And start using your sig for inane jokes, strange quotes and unusual observations like a typical slashdotter.

Re:why?

[justMichael]

When a spammer finds a "spam friendly" ISP they generally pay a premium for their access. Which is why the ISP is spam friendly in the first place.

Disclaimer: NO I am not a spammer. If you want I'll supply the "XL Humungous Butt Plugs" to give to spammers as a gift, you are going to have to deliver it yourself. With dimensions of 5" x 9", most folks are not gonna like it, unless the gaotse guy is a spammer.

Everybody loves this guy's sig. You're like the millionth person to bitch about it. I think it's cool, myself. What else are internet forums for, but boasts that cannot be disproven? Check out how badass *I* am:

I bought viagra online from a florida spammer. After I received the Viagra, I filed a lawsuit against the spammer, then settled for $7500.
