We receive around 5 million spam emails per day here, and have been harvesting a database of spammer URL's embedded in the message body, and we do statistical mining to ISP and registrar. This connection between registrars and spammers has been investigated a number of times, and is nothing new. Bulk Register is the least guilty of the five, because as far as we can tell, they only provide services to customers they know are engaged in spamming activities.
The other four are a bit more quilty-- not only do they appear to be the same "company", but that "company" hosts an extraordinary number of domains used by spammers, and they own or manage an extraordinary number of IP classes used to transmit spam. More specific information regarding these findings will be available publicly once the legal process has been completed. For example, all four have consented to sell large numbers of randomly-named domains for the use of spamming, and a tremendous discount. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rick Klinge > Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 11:19 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Domain Registrar recommendation > > > WoW..
