Saint Aardvark writes "eWeek reports on the latest trick of spammers: getting around DNS-based lookups. By registering a domain *after* the spam goes out advertising it, they can get around blacklists. However, that causes all sorts of problems for ISPs and anti-spam services. Paul Judge, CTO at Ciphertrust, says "Even in large enterprises, it's becoming very common to see a large spam load cripple the DNS infrastructure.""

  1. A bounty... by BawbBitchen · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    We should put a bounty on the head of spammers. It should be open season. They should be hunted down and killed. Wasting a spammer should be made legal. They are scum. Oh, please go ahead and mod me down as flame bait or other such. Its not a flame, it is how I really feel about it.
