Scott, I had a problem with SPEWS a while back. But after doing a little research on NANAE, I realized that the SPEWS strategy is to block the spammer first. If the ISP does not do anything about the spammer, they expand the block to include more subnets. This usually gets the ISP's attention and they boot the spammer. Then and only then is block is removed. Agree with it or not, it is an effective strategy. Best Regards, <Sr.Consultant /> Phillip B. Holmes Media Resolutions Inc.
