Blocked IP after Blocked IP - The Renewed Spam War
Current Events-1
Blocked IP after Blocked IP
Current events indicate that the SPAM WAR has never battled it out this hard on the “IP Blocking” forefront before.
I know it comes as a great surprise to many of us that the “Can Spam Act” didn’t work.
In the last couple of weeks many IPs have been blocked by responsible ISPs and Hosting Entities.
That was just real rude for them to take such a dim view of SPAM, Viruses, Phishing games and etc, collecting "Collateral Damage" along the way, wasn’t it?
All at once, in the last 2 weeks:
We are talking clients that do business globally with respected hosts and ISP's but suddenly they can’t receive emails from certain client’s. We have even fallen into the abyss of clients that can no longer send emails and expect them to be seen by the recipient because someone else "Trampled" their space.
We are talking about big players here:
SBCGlobal
GoDaddy
IPowerWeb
Yahoo
Time Warner
RigZone
These aren’t small players and I can almost guarantee there is a HARD SURGE to block shady IP’s coming on right now in respoinse to the multi-month proliferation of spam based images to try and bypass the filters.
I’d like to take this thread through resolutions, if we can.
Blocked IPs aren’t good for ongoing communications, web traffic or business.
