Story: Spamhaus under attack from UK spammers
Posted by: Brick Walls (Wednesday 14 July 2004, 7:32 AM)
IPs are seldom exclusively owned by a known spammer.
They use an IP, the move to another.
Spamhaus will continue to block lPs, even after the spammer has long since abandoned them.
They state that themselves on their website, that their service will block legit email.
they state its a small % but thats based on comparing it with the volume of spam. One single lost email can cost a company thousands of dollars.
if spamhaus.org was really interested in fighting spam , they would simply publish the list of IPs.
they don't publish their list, god knows why, i guess to maintain their own relevance !!
