Re: DIE!

said by Geoducky:
Actually I wonder why more people don't refer spammers to the FBI... I bet 99% of spammers have commited one or more of:

...
falsification of internet domain records (they ALL do this)
...

Even SPEWS is guilty of that one.

I for one think blacklists are a good idea, but really dislike SPEWS. I'm the webmaster of a server which was caught in the collateral damage caused by the aggressive blacklisting that SPEWS provides. At one point they had all the subnets of the hosting provider that I am hosted at blacklisted. That's thousands of servers blacklisted, all because one person decided to send spam. All the other blacklists simply listed the one IP of the offending server, but not SPEWS they kicked it up a notch and blocked everything with total disregard to the innocent.

It has since been an uphill battle for my provider to try and get off their blacklist. SPEWS has no contact information other than to post to news.admin.net-abuse newsgroup and provide evidence that the spammer has been shut down. At that point all you can do is hope that the right people will see it and have pity on you. All the while SPEWS continued to happily blacklist thousands of innocent servers.
