Spam Falls Worldwide After Web Hosting Company's Servers Disconnected
By Matthew Harwood
11/14/2008 -
The world experienced a drastic reduction in the number of spam e-mails sent worldwide Tuesday evening when the servers of a small Web-hosting company in San Jose, California, were disconnected.
According to The Washington Post, whose investigation led to the disconnection:
The servers are operated by McColo Corp., which these experts say has emerged as a major U.S. hosting service for international firms and syndicates that are involved in everything from the remote management of millions of compromised computers to the sale of counterfeit pharmaceuticals and designer goods, fake security products and child pornography via email .... Immediately after McColo was unplugged, security companies charted a precipitous drop in spam volumes worldwide. E-mail security firm IronPort said spam levels fell by roughly 66 percent as of Tuesday evening.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Jehovah's Witnesses came by Saturday. I just happened to be working on my sermons for Sunday at the time. I met the lady at the door and listened to her spill and then offered her a trade, my literature for her literature. She didn't accept but it was a very polite exchange. I used to be on the black list, meaning that they didn't come by my house......it was no use. I guess I'm off now.

Barking like a dog at the Jehovas Witnesses generally will keep them from coming back.

Buddhist chants do a good job of that one.

So does cocking a .45
Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

It's insane that 2/3 of the world's spam comes from a single server farm. That's nuts but it does suggest that it'd be quite easy to eliminate most spam with targeted action.

Has anybody, in fact, seen a precipitous drop in the amount of spam in their boxes?
