Spambo Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 [snip]ALL large cluster ISPs are subject to this - IP blocking is unacceptable from a technical standpoint PERIOD I am as anti-spam as any one of you, and telling yourselves different is deluding yourselfs - however i am a computer scientists so SMART SOLUTIONS are the only thing acceptable So use whatever system(s) that work for you, but you don't have any right to define what is "acceptable" for others. I decide how my inbox is managed and everyone else has the right to decide how they manage their inboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvey Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Kazan et. al., We don't care much about the AUP. We care mostly about enforcement of the AUP. More precisely, we want the spam to stop. Obviously ipowerweb allows spamming. There's gobs of evidence if you took the time (what, 30 seconds?) to find it. Heck, plenty of it is right here in this thread. CONTACT THEM AND THEY WILL REMOVE IT are *our* instructions to *you*. It's for you to do, not us. You want us to accept your mail, after all! Switch providers, use habeas, contact ipowerweb, etc. Take your pick. You are the one who needs to fix YOUR problem. I just added the scbl in blocking mode on my corporate server, BTW. Put your CS degree to use in the ASRG. What's your domain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaolson Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 they can only process complaints so fast and their registration is automatic so abusers can register faster than they can delete them thoeretically If their system is so trivially easy to abuse, then they should find a way to prevent that abuse. Perhaps some sort of randomly generated code to prevent automated signups, as Yahoo does. ALL large cluster ISPs are subject to this - IP blocking is unacceptable from a technical standpoint Yet IP-level blocking is the only feasable way to do it that I'm aware of. however i am a computer scientists so SMART SOLUTIONS are the only thing acceptable Great. Why don't you come up with such a smart solution that prevents the spam at a finer-than-IP-address level and implement it and we'd all be happy to start using that.
