Back when I was with Mozcom, there were a couple of companies that approached the company and were willing to pay a HUGE premium over market rates for bandwidth (say, 2X to 3X more) on the condition that Mozcom give them an entire /24 which they would use for spamming. And that, once the /24 was blacklisted (probably after a week or two), give them another /24.
Since Mozcom had two /17's that would actually be doable, but it was decided not to do business with those companies. But I'm sure there are others who would gladly take the money (while it lasted). On 3/28/07, John Peter Loh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I agree. I also know someone who used to work for a company that "outsources" spamming.
