Anyone notice that Linode’ s address space appears to have recently grown significantly? I only get UGG Outlet and Sunglasses spam from their address space, which is why I notice. Also… what is the consensus of reporting spam back to the originating ISP? I used to do this faithfully, by attaching the original message in a new email back to the abuse/spam address listed on the ISP website. That way the ISP will have ALL the info needed to prove that it was spam and where it originated. But Microsnot/Outlook in their infinite wisdom doesn’t allow attachments. So I used to forward the emails to them with a new subject line. Well… they then decided I was a spammer and started blocking all mail from my server! I had to call them to get the block lifted, but I’m now on probation... Most of the time I don’t get any response, so I wonder if reporting is a wasted effort. Bill
