Re: Killing a fly with a jackhammer
said by kpatz  :
What isn't mentioned in the BBR article but is mentioned in the Comcast forum and a CNet article, is that Comcast plans on targeting the blocks toward subscribers that are sending out spam, rather than foisting the blocks on everyone. This way it won't affect the majority of subscribers. After all, there are probably more people out there who legitimately use 3rd party SMTP servers, which would be negatively affected by such a block than there are spamming zombies.
Didn't they say that in the last lines of the BBR article?
"With a "targeted" approach, Comcast likely plans to block port 25/tcp traffic for only the most egregious offenders. We'll soon see if that's going to be enough." |

Not when it was first posted, unless I overlooked it.
