That's why I think that port 25 blocking is the only way. That, and closing open relays, of course.
No, that is NOT the only way. We presume that the spammer had 8 dial-up accounts. Who is this professional spammer, and how come he/she/it can still find a provider? That is the question. Perhaps also who is the merchant that ordered the promotion? The identity of such individual or company belongs on a black list. Yet the spammer is able to subscribe again tomorrow, next week, next year... and nothing happens to them. That is the point where control should be exercised. --Mitch NetSide
