OK, you all know I got the nasty email. You all know that my 'evilrules' has to do with spam hosts. The ones that host the images. Well this seems to be the way to attack the spammers.
When I called the provider of the provider of the provider of the spam host, they were 'dead' serious about stopping spammers. This may be the key. Going waaay over the heads of these reseller ISPs, to finding the bug guys to threaten to pull the plug. The gentleman I spoke to at American Pro Servers didn't take this lightly. They really cared. Basically he summed it up nicely. They can't sell servers if one of their customer's customer has their IP blacklisted. Since many spammers are resorting to image spam, I think this is the way to go. It also seems they use one ISP for many spam hosts. So making one phone call or email can shutdown a bunch. This is theory only. Complain to the image host ISP, not where the mail came from?
