: : That's why I keep advocating better ways to identify the specific sources : of the unwanted traffic, even if they change IP addresses. That way you : could positively block the infected computers from not only mail but : anything else you don't want to supply (no more GOOGLE/YAHOO/CNN for you), : without massive collateral damage. Then the cost-benefit equation would : be closer. If you annoy a lot of people, lots of people can completely : and positively ignore you. : : With better identification, you directly receive the benefit of keeping : your computer clean. You eliminate the third-party dependency of needing : to fix other's peoples mistakes in order to do your work. It also makes : it easier for other people to take action, because the collateral damage : is less. : I likewise would like to see a better way - but changing the whole internet is completely illogical. Educating the masses is the same. As soon as I see a solution that will work, I will probably try to implement it on my system.
