More importantly, they need to have a lot of servers where fake addresses can be sent to. Load these into outlook and let the spammers harvest them.
That makes no sense whatsoever! While I have no doubt that address books have been captured by virii over the years, your plan is lacking in both clarity and details to the point where it is on the verge of absurdity. There are certainly easier ways to seed spammer lists with your spamtraps.
But I gotta give them credit, at least they got the right idea about how to properly run a communist country -- fear! Stalin style (yeah, I like the alliteration, just came up with it!) People will obey when they see their neighbors in the evening and by morning the secret police have taken them away because someone made up a lie about them being "enemies of the people." I am not making this up, this happened to families I knew personally, this is how things are in NK.

I don't know most thieves (*hopefully not any!), and not every doper (*see previous disclaimer) is a thief, but the parent describes an all too common scenario that should be disseminated more widely.
While most burglary victims don't know any thieves or dopers, the thieves' and dopers' paths certainly cross more than *anyone* would desire.
While I still endorse reporting crimes for statistical purposes, remember the police are not there for you, and they sure as hell don't give a flying fuck about you or your property. Just like you, they care about not getting killed.
That said, do police get into the path of danger at times in their chosen occupation? Hell yes! So while you should pay them due respect, don't ever mistakenly think their job is about you.
It's a shame that our (American) law enforcement priorities are so defective that consensual criminals can do more time than habitual victimizers. I am not a "Ten Commandments" kind of guy, but what ever happened to "Love Thy Neighbor"?
Would you rather be able to 'buy back' a hard-to-find stolen part from eBay, or have to either source this part from a supplier (more expensively) or abandon the device altogether?
Would you rather be beaten with a nickel chain or a lead pipe?
No, really: "FUCK YOU," you thief apologist!
Scarcity is no free-pass to a black market of fenced stolen goods.
We have roadrunner buisness class at work with a static IP.
That is your first problem. My opinion of your provider aside, if you know what you are doing and how to talk to them (RR.com), you can actually do okay on biz.rr.com. The first thing you need to do is get rid of any DNS that reverses to anything that contains the string biz.rr.com, because email from there is never a good thing. My postmaster friends that use biz.rr.com to provide their IP transport all know that, and now you do, too. Quit blaming DNSbls for your inexperience as an email administrator.
Frankly, I have no interest in subsidising a provider that feels that way.
if you run a anti spam filter, it is your job to make sure your data is accurate.
If you *USE* a DNSbl in your anti spam filtering solution, it is your job to make sure the data is accurate enough to meet the needs of your users.
The DNSbl operators have no obligation to any users other than those with a contract indicating such obligation. SPEWS owes no one anything. At least one postmaster somewhere owes SPEWS some very small debt of gratitude at a minimum. Not every DNSbl is right for every mail server. Using the presence of an IP on a DNSbl may not be adequate reason to reject an SMTP transaction, but sometimes it is the right thing to do.
Trying to pin bad system administration on a DNSbl operator is as pathetic as the poor workman who always blames his tools.
Bush had to get a court ruling to get in the first time and the second time he did not have the majority of the popular vote even if he got the electoral votes.
While it pains me to think that we elected W twice as many times as his father, the statistics disagree with your statement about the 2004 popular vote.
While I agree that this is obviously phishing, and more specifically spear phishing, the attack did originate via Unsolicited Bulk Email, or UBE, better known as spam.
Of course not all spam is phishing, and not all phishing is spam (although all the attempts that I have personally encountered were initiated via spam).
In this case though, the phish definitely is spam.
I know how DNS works, and the TLD is still a suffix, as DNS resolves an IP address into Latin text and the last I checked Latin text reads left to right.
By your logic any hostname or third (or further) level domain would be the suffix. That is just wrong, since language (which is what domains and hostnames are comprised of) doesn't work like that.

Parent is not offtopic, as "Tom" is the MySpace founder that all new accounts get as their first friend. Ergo parent is funny, and not offtopic.
Parent is more Informative than Insightful, if any mods are inclined to notice.

As much as I love Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones, and Han Solo, and definitely not in that order: MOD PARENT UP!
I think this AC schlep thought he was being funny!
I laughed.
F tha douche anyway!
Mod parent up!

While most burglary victims don't know any thieves or dopers, the thieves' and dopers' paths certainly cross more than *anyone* would desire.
And anyone would know one way or the other exactly how?
True dat. Fuck tha police.

And here I thought it was all that coke and crystal meth that kept those poor, poor record executives up at night!
I though most parents endorsed abortion up to 18 years after birth!
Who moderated the parent off-topic? Grow a sense of humor! The parent post is hilarious.
And it still looks terrible on a Treo 700p using the Blazer browser that comes with the phone!
Opera Mini helps make Slashdot on a Treo much more bearable.
I would beg to differ, as Clearwire tends to mount their antennae on cellphone towers.

Have you tried Captive NTFS?

I have seen them reborn as Shelters for freestanding ATMs.
That would be the Irish domain suffix.
A prefix would come before the domain.
In a society where a criminal can sue the homeowner of the house he broke into and got injured AND WIN.
That's why you are supposed to shoot the intruder dead!
