Correction: A major server hosting provider, McColo, was shut down due to legal action. This provider had a history of ignoring abuse complaints. So if their customer's servers were compromised, they didn't do anything. If a customer was a spammer, the didn't do anything. The actual spammers are not directly affected by the legal action. They will continue to look for neglectful hosts, and continue to try to compromise computers to use as zombie spam cannons. So this treats a symptom, but not the disease. Better than nothing, but far from ideal. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
