The main reason for this is probably increasing effectiveness of various realtime blocklists, such as SURBL. For those that aren't familiar with SURBL (http://www.surbl.org), it's an RBL that lists list URIs found in spam e-mails. In other words, instead of listing spam zombies or relays, RBLs like SURBLs list sites that are referenced in advertised spams. <SNIP - you get the idea - or click above> On 9/25/07, Steve Ragan <sragan () indy rr com> wrote:http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/20070924/tc_zd/215816 I've seen this a lot lately, and I don't see how these sites wereallowed.Is there anyone here who can shed some light on this?
