Re: [WISPA] TTY Spam/Stolen Credit Card Scam against ISPs
Matt A great service is MaxMind - a few others as well - runs prior to the credit auth. as of the blacklists- do you not limit how many emails an account can send per hour? Shoot to me off list - i can set you up a few tools that may help here. :-) good stuff - especially if you know linux well. I have some good mod_sec rules that work having mail as a reverse proxy - from a recent hosting client that had an issue we patched. Happy to help you win the fight.

Oh that sound like fun. Been there. Just wait until you get to the ones that make you pay to get off. That is when the fun begins.
