My rationale is this: The majority of spam is being generated by spambots, and ISPs have basically passed the buck on taking their share of the responsibility in helping the community-at-large in getting this mess under control.
On the other hand, in ISOI we saw that the ISPs *are* making efforts eg walled gardens, arrests, etc So I don't think it is fair to say they are passing the buck, rather that they have the same problem as an oil tanker - it takes a long time to make a course change, even if you *really* want to. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
