One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End 632
kog777 writes to mention that Spamhaus has released a final warning about an increase in junk email, as they prepare to lose their domain to an Illinois court ruling. From the article: "According to Spamhaus, more than 650 million Internet users - including those at the White House, the U.S. Army and the European Parliament - benefit from Spamhaus' 'blacklist' of spammers that helps identify which messages to block, send to a 'junk' folder or accept. Losing the domain name would make it more difficult for service providers and others to obtain the lists. 'If the domain got suspended, it would be an enormous hit for the Net,' said Steve Linford, Spamhaus' chief executive officer. 'It would create an enormous amount of damage on the Internet.'"

It's okay, guys. Spamhaus will lose their domain for a night, then get it back along with a huge government grant to go find a way to stop th emess that was made when they were shut down, and it'll all be cleaned up in time for a sequel.

Much as I'd love to see that happen, since it would demolish ICANN once and for all, I seriously doubt it.
In other news: Spamhaus LLC (http://www.spamhaus.org.uk) experienced a temporary decrease in reachability today as one of its redundant domains became unreachable. Unnamed officials at Spamhaus have warned that the situation is expected to deteriorate somewhat when the US-based servers in its worldwide fault-tolerant network are shut down, and to expect slight increases in lookups due to this. One official was quoted as saying, "Backhoes, DDOS attacks, daft overreaching judges, it's all damage we're set up to route around."
