Re: whatever it takes

You're not just flooding *their* bandwidth, you're flooding everybody else's bandwidth too.

Somewhere I saw a comment that shortly after that site was brought up some 25% of backbones traffic was based on that tactic. I doubt the number was that high, but it was probably significant.

There are really not that many spammers out there ... but there are now a lot using trojans that make traditional methods of fighting spam like spitting into the ocean.
