Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Interesting tactic..

This sounds like an urban legend to me.  Keep in mind that there was some news release a few weeks ago that indicated AOL was seeing dramatically less spam traffic.  I think it is likely that AOL has succeeded in blocking more spam, and the article was rehashed by someone that didn't understand the topic and assumed that this meant a drop in spam.  This used to happen all the time, even in industry mags, back when the Internet was becoming a big deal.  Same thing with spam now.  I'm sure that they mess up articles about medicine, astronomy, etc., and we just don't know enough to see through the mistakes.

Why would you want to register the domain name and then associated yourself with a domain used in a spam mailing? And from a technical standpoint why would a distributed DNS system be overloaded by trying to lookup bogus domain names? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kami Razvan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Declude.JunkMail@declude.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 2:50 PM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Interesting tactic.. <http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1749328,00.asp> http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1749328,00.asp\ "One troublesome technique finding favor with spammers involves sending mass mailings in the middle of the night from a domain that has not yet been registered.
