I see Savvis has a sales office in a Building I used to work in here in NYC. They also seem to be be somewhat deadbeat-ish with respect to paying some of their bills, so I bet they need that Spam revenue. That exec probably needed that revenue in order to qualify for some absurd bonus. -TD From: "J.A.

Savvis dropping major spammers (cypherpunk sighting.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3634572.stm John Young and John Gilmore aren't the only cypherpunks in the news lately. J. Alif Terranson was in a BBC article about getting the company to agree to drop the hundred or so major spammers who've been using their network. Some of them are former C&W customers, some are new, and they've been estimated to be about $2M/month business for Savvis, so this is a non-trivial step for Savvis. On the other hand, Savvis risked getting its whole network blacklisted by the major spam anti-spam groups if it didn't do something. We'll see if they follow through.
