Story: Microsoft turns to Spamhaus for security help

•

I find this quite ironic, since the FOUNDER of spamhaus has many times complained about Microsoft spamming.

Isn't Spamhaus in the business to put spammers out of business? Why is it working closely with the world's largest spammers?

I'm wondering why Microsoft are hammering that spam out. They're pissing
everyone off and yet still spamming it. The only reason I can think of is
that Microsoft are suddenly _very_ worried about Y2K. Why they should be so
worried is a mystery, surely they've had years to prepare for Y2K.
