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.

    Does anyone remember when UUNet was black listed? Or when Rogers was blacklisted?

    Those were the days... but the age of activist sys admins is gone... we have been replaced with dot bomb drop outs who care about nothing more than a few $$$.

    We are finished.

    And think about it... what antispam technique can you think of that is more effective than filters and less intrusive (IE less clicking) to the users?

    Loads of things are effective but all make the user work harder than they would by just deleting the spam.

    Think of spam as an advert in your newspapaer or a commercial on TV. You're fucked and nothing can be done about it. Get a TIVO and suck it up.
