How Tucows Helps A Spammer Cover His Tracks

["Fergie" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

This is nothing new, but more attention to this sort of mess
needs to be brought to the forefront & discussed. Some of these
registrars are in it simply for the money and care nothing about
the "health" of the Internet.

Shame, shame.

These days, it seems everybody complains about spammers, but few have noticed how key players allow spammers to ply 
their trade. Email Battles takes you on safari, tracking a big one, then shows you how a well-known and respected 
registrar makes the tracks vanish.

Think about that next time you hear ICANN-types whine about the impossibility of stopping spam. You're either part of 
the solution, or part of the problem.
