Re: ISP wants to stop outgoing web based spam

* Hank Nussbacher:

Back in 2002 I asked if anyone had a solution to block or rate limit outgoing web based spam.

What is web-based spam? Comment spam? Wiki defacements? Or do you want to stop spam sent via web mailers? That's their job. They know more about their customers than you, and quite a few of them use HTTPS anyway. If Yahoo hasn't got rate limits on their "I've got a new email address" feature, for example, they need to fix it, not you or anybody else.
