With Earthlink, it's ONE USER!
He's a "press agent" type; not infected with malware, he *IS* malware.
He'll piss off Spam-Eating-Monkey (the service PDML's host subscribes
to) and gets the IP address for the mail server he happened to hit when
he sent out his crap banned for 48 hours or so.
If I happen to hit the same server during the ban, I get a 550 bounce.

Quote from Wikipedia page on antispam:

It has happened before that PDML subscribers found themselves using
email providers whose domain or IP-range is considered to be a spam
source. Sometimes the ISP is sloppy and allow spam servers to operate,
but in most cases it's hapless users with poor antivirus protection that
gets infected with malware that distribute spam. If a sufficient number
of users with one ISP are afflicted, some spam filter may block all mail
from that IP range. Most modern ISPs have spam filters on outgoing email
as well, but it is harder to monitor properly than incoming email.

Most PDML e-mails haven't been coming through & I have to access them
through the archives instead . Now they are belatedly coming through
in dribs-and-drabs. Perhaps there is a leak in the Atlantic undersea
cable?
