Comcast Port 25 Blocks Result In Less Spam
Dozix007 writes "Ars Technica reports that: 'After Comcast finally owned up to the massive amounts of spam coming from
their network, they decided to identify spammers and zombie relays on their
network and block
port 25 traffic from those IP addresses. Comcast's efforts are starting to
pay off. They announced the amount of spam from their network has dropped
35 percent since they began port blocking and
traffic estimates from SenderBase seem to confirm the claims. Spam coming
from Comcast subscribers who were formerly on AT&T networks also
seems to have decreased'."
It's a small price to pay for a wick3d screensaver.
For the next week, I had to pack the area with fresh gauze 2-3 times a day, the used packing coming away from the wound tinted a sickly melange of yellowish-green and red.
That's more what I was thinking.

... To make up for the difference spammers are making their emails more offensive.
OK, I've got the mod points, now where's "-1, Too Informative"? ;-p

Jees. man. I agree.
though I suppose such mental imagery thrown randomly into a thread is an important element to a slashdot conversation
..otherwise youll never become desensitised to goatse guy...

Why would a legitimate businessman in the bulk e-mail industry use hacked machines? That'd be clearly illegal. Oh that's right, sometimes I forget, they're fucking scumbag criminals who would steal their parents' social security checks if they could get away with it.
Oh wait, it's probably just down again.
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
No, thanks. I prefer my mail without random 24-48 hour delays and invisibly dropped messages. That's not how mail is "supposed to work."
You mean that's not how _e-mail_ is supposed to work. I'm pretty sure that's exactly how regular old _mail_ is supposed to work, and the postal service is doing a great job of implementing that system, thank you.
I believe a home visit by a cattle-prod wielding Company Representative would also do the trick, and I'm sure myself and other recipients of offers such as "Increase Your Penis Size While Improving Your Search Engine Placings On Google" would willingly fund this if neccessary.
I don't know about you, but I have been responding to all the "Increase your Penis" ads, and now my wang is so big, I had to buy new pants. Thanks to all those guys in Africa, I have more money in my bank account than I could hope for. I used it to buy stocks based on tips that these guys have been sending me, and have doubled my money in a week every time. Of course, it doesn't really matter, because I am buying software for 80% off retail, get people sending me really cool screen savers for free, and refinanced my home at unheard of interest rates.
Now I'm getting tons of email from girls that want me to meet them and their coed girlfriends, so the new, bigger penis will come in handy. I even ordered some discount Viagra so I can keep it going all night. I think what really impressed them was my new university diploma, that I received for my lifelong accomplishments.
Gotta run, looks like someone just sent me a greeting card. Hope its one of the hot college chics. I still don't see what all the fuss is about...

MORE DETAILS!!!!! I think I have a few to many as it is. o.k. more than a few too many. Sheesh I WAS planning on sleeping tonight. But not till I manage to erase that image from my mind. Crap, can't you go bonkers from lack of sleep?
