3 billion spam is a drop in the bucket of the daily spam volumes seen worldwide, there has not been a global increase of spam volumes in the last year of that magnitude (Or really much at all).
I read your article, from what I can tell you were not even blacklisted? If you are blacklisted on MEHS (Microsoft Exchange hosted Services) your email is bounced back right away, I don't see any such messages in your writeup.
You mention in your write up that
"Not to worry, was the message from their admin, all they needed to do was release the messages from their holding area every now and again, and then start training the system that my messages were not spam."
I use MEHS, and mail that is marked as spam by their filtering can be released by any user not just an admin (These are the mails that go into spamshark).
There is a feature that allows admins to setup their own custom rules that will put the mail into a custom quarentine area where only the admins can release the messages. So for example you might set a rule that all mail from monster.com goes into this location. The rules created for this are created by the customer Admin not the service, so perhaps what happend is the people you were trying to sent to created their own rule that sent all mail from the domain (or containing something in the company signature) into the mail jail.
It was just hyped big time by a few big media outlets. And really the patch was out, and you know Windows 2000 needs a firewall.
I blame it more on crappy IT administration.
I always wished the first worm to come out would be one that patched the systems. Maybe make it check for others infections dl avg to their system etc and clean that pc up using free software.
Now that I think of it I've never seen Castro and Linus in the same room....and Linus always seems to be smoking fine cigars...and open source software is practically communism anyway...it all makes sense now!
I would have liked to have seen how the Plextor drives performed and the use of Taiyo Yuden media as this is what I would use for high quality burning.
As anyone knows who has hit someone in India the accents can be very hard to understand, Canadian accents (if any) are very close to americain ones so you might be able to get the help you need!
Except anyone can look at the header information of the E-mail and see what ip address it came from. And whover owns that address is the one responsible for the content of the message (Although in most cases its probably an open proxy or a hacked computer so then its a debate as to how responsible they are)

Botnets tend to send out directly from the PC instead of using the ISP mail server as most people don't tend to host their own SMTP server.

On one hand the GPL violations are not so great...however action like this isn't going to encourage people to embrace open source...
They have no respect for us up there. No respect whatsoever. We're all just drudgeons to them.

You can't download SP1 yet from Microsoft, in fact its not due out for weeks...
I'm getting really tired of people predicting how vista or anything will do based on anecdotal evidence.

Lol for fun look up the picture of the guy that runs spambag and then ask yourself if you want him telling you who can send you mail (It's a Jem)
/me breaks out his Mac user rolodex to do some gloating :D

Nah let them use them to get rid of the lawyers first, then move onto higher life forms.
