On Futureproofing Spamhaus
BMcWilliams writes "Spamhaus director Steve Linford announced a new funding plan Tuesday. According to Linford's announcement, large ISPs and big corporate users of the Spamhaus zone transfer service (renamed the Spamhaus Data Feed Service) will be required to pay an annual subscription fee ranging between $190 and $14,500.(The free public-query mirrors will continue to exist.) The point of the new plan is to ensure that 'the millions of users who rely on our anti-spam systems can be assured we'll be here for as long as spammers plague the Internet'."
Thanks, jackass. Friggin' trolls.
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'.
Any way to stop this rampant trolling?

We need an open source e-mail solution!
Hopefully just as OSS can fix OS, maybe OSS can fix e-mail... I hope.
P.S. Whoever invented e-mail has a good intention, is just that greedy bastard (including the large corporation) always want to squeeze in a few bucks if they can get them for free at the expense to the rest of the society.
This is the dark-side of captalism...
Although it's still better then communism...
I'm leaning more towards socialism... US is more socialism then capitalism now what with the welfare and social security system...
In US, you can easily buy enough major firearms to wipe out your neighbourhood but a few little fireworks are banned.
You only get one email a day? See that is my theory most of the spam is from newsletters you don't remember signing up for... but then again they are tricky about getting you to sign up for them but if you read and are carefull you don't end up with that much spam Unfortantly I am neither carefull or read everything so i get tons of spam. Sucks for me
just because your a schizophrenic doesn't mean people arn't really out to get you
