Really good idea (no sarcasm, I actually like it).. But what stops spammers from registering their mail server?..Ie.. 1) Get a dsl account 2) Ips get swipped to you 3) Register the server 4) SPAM 5) Apologize, get a second chance 6) get booted off 7) Call the next ISP with a zero install 8) Rinse and repeat.
Treat them sort of like SSL certs now. Charge an annual registrar fee per company, not per server. (Something like $100 a year) The more they have to go out of their way to get their spam server online, the more they would be deterred to do so. They're only going to want to change so many ISP's, go through SWIP and then change their legal name for the registrar so many times. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor@inoc.net Life would be much easier if I had the source code.
