Fingers crossed, due to the good reputation SAVVIS has with the
anti-spam community (SAVVIS has probably the best AUP in the industry
and a well-respected Abuse team), at Spamhaus we're hoping this
spells extended downtime for the large mass of spammers Cable &
Wireless and Exodus have been servicing.
Spamhaus publishes a "Top 10 World Worst Spam ISPs" monthly chart
from SBL data, and for March Exodus was 7th and C&W was 8th (I know
we should combine 'Exodus' into 'C&W' now, but I'm afraid if we did
C&W would probably beat the No1 place UUNet in volume of harbored
spammers). So here's hoping the SAVVIS team can turn C&W round in
more ways than one.
