I was discussing this on an e-commerce practitioners list earlier today, and argued basically that, from an abuse point of view, EC2 is the same as any other bad neighborhood, and that operators needing to make impact fast, will treat it as they do any other bad neighborhood.
Concur. From an address-reputation perspective EC2 is no different than, say, China. Connections from China start life much closer to my filtering threshold that connections from Europe because a far lower percentage of the connections from China are legitimate. EC2 will get the same treatment. As that starts to impact Amazon's ability to maintain and grow the service, they'll do something about it. Or let it wither. Either way, address reputation solves my problem. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ herrin () dirtside com bill () herrin us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
