If blocking huge swaths of foreign IP space worked, everyone would be doing it (and they aren't).
Say what you will about AOL, Earthlink and others, but they did put real time into building in-house anti-spam systems. This was just a stupid hack, and the fact that it was allowed to go live raises questions about the general competency of these folks outside of their old-timey business divisions. -- Day dreaming days in a daydream nation |
