double traffic. eek. didn't think of that.


since it would be a sitewide application though, it could just run nightly and report cumulative amounts.

the real thing that i want to accomplish, is alerting bandwidth providers of the activity.

whether its an abusive customer or an insecure box, MOST management seems responsive to spammers when they find out about it.

If most spam comes from a few servers... wouldn't this create a massive
DOS against those servers?  Then again... that would stop spam wouldn't
it?

One problem I see with the approach is that it would double the traffic on
the web.


One thing I like about the approach is that it makes the spammer pay in
proportion to how much they spam.

i dont know how useful this would be, but i was thinking of a spam
reporting tool that did the following:
        sends a message to root/webmaster/whatever of the mailing ip
        traceroutes the ip, and finds the location facility and/or isp --
        then mails root/webmaster and all whois contacts for that company

emails would say something to the effect of:
        unsolicited bulk mail has come from your server, or a server on your
network
        please take the appropriate actions to secure your machine, if this
were a hack, or prevent your customer from doing this in the future
        should another message be received from this ip, it will be
immediately listed on dns blocking lists
        should further messages be sent through your network, your entire
address block will listed on dns blocking lists

i'm just really fucking sick of some of these spams i've been getting
lately.  the bulk of them lately have been coming from companies that
use level3.net
