btech Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z857315368z51...af1b1c6c90f4fdz How is it that a spammer can host a site on a Comcast IP (this one is in CA)? Do they turn a zombie computer into a make-shift server or something? It can't be on a Comcast personal page, because that wouldn't have a localized IP like this. Can anyone answer that for me?
