what does it mean? that there are really too many servers used for
spamming, or that lots of positions on that list are "possible spammers"
or "someone hated them so paid to people maintaining this list"...
i was a member of some few spamming lists few months ago, while no
spamming actually been done from my machine.

But i was classified as "open relay" and i read in explanation that "it's
JUST WRONG" (they forgot to add TM).

I still have my mail server configured same way, just added few rules to
cheat their crappy scanners...
and still no spam goes trough my machine. if something will, i'm sure i
will react.


hearing of advertised "spam protection" in future microsoft products
should finally force people to think...


if so many people still spamming it means that there are lot of people for
whom spam-advertising works, while others should just ignore spams, and
never ansver, while every mechanisms like RBL is inacceptable..

The only way to fight with spam is to track down actual spammers, not
ISP's
