Spanish Internet Provider's SMTP traffic Blocked

Posted by timothy on from the appropriate-measures dept.

Andrew D Kirch writes "After being barraged by spam and 419 scams from Rima-TDE and telefonica.es [translated], the AHBL has announced that all of Spain's national ISP's e-mail will be blocked by their blacklisting service. One has to ask though, is blocking an entire country like this the future of spamfighting, or has something gone horribly wrong?"

    Aww shat, my school is going to make me spend one school term over there and net there is already bad :(

    Hopefully the 'educational' centre I'm going to won't block FTP, incoming POP/outgoing SMTP and SSH or I will scream :(

    OK, since I received a troll...
    I want to clarify "there are a few(non-hookers)" does not mean that Thailand is all hookers. It means that there are a few beautiful women who also aren't hookers. Still sounds nasty, but not nearly as much as if you read it the wrong way.
    What can I say: you like what you like.
