KnujOn Updates Top 10 Spam-Friendly Registrars List
alphadogg writes "Some companies are more popular than others for spammers wanting to register their domain names. Spam-fighting organization KnujOn has updated its report on the top 10 registrars whose customers are linked to spam and other illicit activity. (We discussed the original report last year.) These 10 companies registered 83% of the domains spammed in KnujOn's sample of spam between June and January. KnujOn found that some companies have cleaned up their act in recent months and that others — most surprisingly, Network Solutions and GoDaddy sister company Wild West domains — have popped up on the list. At the top of KnujOn's list, for the second time in a row, is Xinnet.com, a Chinese registrar linked to more than 3 million spam messages. KnujOn recommends that ICANN threaten to pull Xinnet's accreditation, as it did for some of the offenders on the previous list."
cmdrtaco is on the rag.
I agree pulling accreditation would be a stupid idea along with blacklisting registrars.
Email is just another form of marketing.
Spam filters have killed email. You never know if an email is received or not anymore.
All email should be delivered. Spam could go to the junk folder.
Stop the war on Spam it is like the war on drugs a lost cause.
Their research is flawed! It is not the domain registrars fault! Email Marketing should not make a difference for a domain.
GoDaddy already has a crazy policy about antispam do not make it worst.
Fight for email marketing! Fight for email delivery!
Stop these crazy blacklists and spam filters
Protest KnujOn
Their research is flawed! This is NOT what we need. Blackmailing domain registrars to change their policies is unfair.
Who cares if the domain is used to send email marketing,emails.
KnujOn is encouraging the the use of blacklisting registrars which hurts everyone from websites to people sending email.
Email is meant to be delivered, bring email back to the people! Fight this. Fight this to the end.
