Re: Follow the money

Pass a law stating that no ISP can provide service to spammers. That way as soon as a spammer is discovered his ISP can instantly disconnect him, if they are not spamming then the user can call up and explain how they are not a spammer and why they need to send millions of emails.

Also, impose heavy fines for ISP that do not disconnect spammers after their IPs are reported.

I never recieve legit email from outside the US, and I am sure most American's never do either. -- »www.ryanoneill.us

Re: Follow the money

Some did. When I had Prodigy dial up in the 90's they had an 'overseas' filter that blocked all mail originating from overseas servers. With it I received virtually no spam. It was part of a comprehensive anti-spam system they called Spamshield. It included this plus tons of filtering and blacklist subscription options.

I've always thought that ISP's should enforce users to login into their smtp mail server using a password. At present most dont. Also mail should only be sent from the legitimate account holders address. e.g If I'm on NTL Cable and my email address is myname@ntlworld.com I can easily send an email from yourname@ntlworld.com. Surely a simply check would stop this.

This would then stop people using hacked PCs to send spam emails as the ISP would pick up hundreds of errors from the account and contact the account holder.
