We to cold also host known spammers and allow so we to could make more money. However, I know that some forms of spamming is against our state law at a minimum, and my ethics will not allow me to make money that way. Perhaps I am just not a good business person. However I also know I could make money robbing banks or whatever, but my ethics will not allow me to do that either.
There should be some lines drawn somewhere to force those without ethics to conform to the ethics of the majority of the people. Most of the people in the US hate spammers. Only a few unethical entities actually benefit from them. This makes me feel that the masses could win if we could organize against those with no ethics.

The cost of stopping it at the ISP level would be much less than what we all have invested total. Who's cost? I don't think you are including the revenues lost to the registrars, network operators, and to the hosting providers. There is 10s of millions of dollars in revenue that will dry up overnight if 'something is done'. They will not let this happen. >All the ISP really needs to do is look for forged headers. More would be good, but that would stop a high percentage of what we have the hardest time >>stopping. The list of valid senders would be shorter than this list you propose of 'forged senders' Regards, Jason 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/ 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/
