My thinking on this is that if we had better automated reporting then
spammers could be shut down at the source and we could reduce spam that
way. I think what needs to happen is to develop some sort of
auto-reporting of spam process that's easy and tie in ISPs and the big
boys into the databse so that a surge of reports could auto shutdown
spammers.
I'm trying an experiment with Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc. where I'm
forwarding all Hotmail spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED], yahoo spam to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the idea of shutting down the perps at the source.
What do you all think of this. Can we build a tool or a web service that
gathers and stores abuse info and turns IP addresses and domain names
into abuse addresses and do automatic reporting?
