Spammers I had a huge spam problem and was getting around 5,000 spam emails a day (10 domains). This has been the case for several years. I manage these accounts only with the help of Mailwasher, which automatically deletes about 99% of the spam, and would otherwise be unmanageable. About 2 weeks ago, the barrage of spam simply stopped and I get very little spam now and I still receive all of my legitimate email! I made no changes whatsoever to any of the domains I manage. My only guess when this happened was that maybe a major spammer was shut down. If efforts like this can shut these operations down, I am all for it. These spammers are "playing dirty" why shouldn't we "play dirty also" in response? The legal system doesn't seem to be able to shut these folks down, so it looks like we have to "fight fire with fire". I applaud efforts like this. |
