UUNet Is The Number 1 Spam Host

Posted by timothy on from the go-team-go dept.

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.

      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.

  2. Time for ISP's to take responsiblity. by aldridge · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.

    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:
