Well now... some wishes can come true. Not sure how long it'll last but every little bit of stopping their crap is a good thing.
If you love... love without reservation. If you fight... fight without fear.
ST: If you're going to go the way of the ostrich and stick your head into the sand or up your butt and expect everything to go the way you had imagined it, you deserve your fate.
Awesome.
...but they're probably all going to find another host sooner or later.

Feedback on it would be nice. It'll help with future projects.
I read about that last week. From what I understand, the company that owned the servers sending out all that spam was outed in a blog post somewhere, which was what resulted in that shutdown. I find it amazing that these spammers would let their operation get so centralized like this. I guess greed blinded them to the fact that they could get screwed like that if anyone shut down the host they were relying on.

I've never had a spam message get into my Gmail inbox, and I've had this account for... something like three years. I don't know if it's something I'm eating, or if it's what they put in the water around here, or what.

I never get spam on gmail or hotmail.
3-4 years, I had a gmail account but didnt use it, when I looked at it a few months ago it had around 6,000 spam in it lol.

Want to avoid spam? Easy. Don't give your e-mail out to every random web site you come across.
This really seems like case of the upstream providers pretending they didn't know what was going on until someone reported it, at which point they were forced to act responsible. Seriously, you think it likely that in years of service, some admin somewhere wouldn't notice they have something like four times the SMTP traffic of any other customer on the network and take a look to see what's going on? It's not ignorance, it's negligence.
