Story: Lycos launches anti-spam zombie army
Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 3 December 2004, 10:17 PM)
Something, anything, needs to be done to stop spam. Not only do I get hundreds of spam a day, most of it complete garbage, mispelt junk about things I don't want and would never want. Some of it is even forged to look like it comes from me - so I appear to be sending spam to myself. Trying to stop it at the host is a waste of time, many originate in third world black holes and my own ISP, Pipex, appears to little or no interest at all in stopping it over their network. At least Lycos tried. Well done Lycos I say.
