Dave said: *************** Start blocking the known spammers and notify those that host them (identified by databases like SpamCop and SpamHaus) they will be attacked in retaliation. Oh wait you already said you did not agree with that. I guess following your recommendation we will be forced to keep our fingers in the dike until some white hatted posse rides to our rescue. Of course you gets to appoint the members of this posse? And that brings us back to the beginning. ***************
I didn't say that I don't agree with that at all! I really don't understand your point either Dave. We use SpamCop along with select others and block senders if the sender is listed on more that just one DNSBL. I think this is a great idea and totally agree with it. What I don't agree with is doing a DDoS against web sites because the people that spamvertized for their sites are on some of those DNSBL lists. The point that I was trying to make was we should go after the ISP companies that allow their clients to send spam. If we could stop them from allowing it, the problem would be partially solved. The only other problem is other countries that send spam, but IMHO I don't have any problems blocking most of them at our firewall. If everyone in the US blocked overseas ISP companies that send spam, they to would be forced to quit sending it as well or risk not doing business with the US. That is all I'm trying to say, so please stop trying to read between the lines :) To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
