[IMGate] Re: Spam declines after hosting company shut-down

I hope too  :)

Pete McNeil on the sniffer list says there has been some dropoff.

I think we all know that it's whack-a-mole game.  

There so much money involved that the spammers and criminals will pop up again.

I remember years ago I noticed a large drop in spam for a couple of
weeks. Months later I saw a post about a fiber cut in Korea.

IMHO spam would be reduced if;

1: ALL mail servers required .ptr records before accepting mail
2: ALL mail server refused to whitelist ANYONE


Sure this draconian measures would interrupt a ton of legitimate mail.
But it would force ISP to be more accountable for their mail.

 We'll see if this really holds up, or whether others step into the gap.
