I think we should attack the open relays and
disable their machines... Just my mentality... They clutter us up and because of
their ignorance, or their not caring about it, causes us loss in cpu cycles and
having to delete the messages, not to mention the bandwidth costs. I think we
should cause loss on their end to balance it... I know the first time I was
hacked and disabled for being stupid I learned mighty quick not to let it happen
again.
Most open relays (which are listed in the header of
the email itself) are VERY open.... (blank administrator PW or very easy to root
with win2k resource kit tools)
I know this idea will not jibe with most, but what
else can we do? The admins of these domains don't care, and if we block them
they barrage with emails "release the block..." even if we report spam
repeatedly...
