I don't want to pour gasoline on a burning fire (well, okay -- maybe
I do), but this issue is really out of hand.
I mean, the top ASN-originating "offender" pumped out somewhere
in the neighborhood of 2.27 billion (yes, "Billion", with a "B")
spam messages in the past 24 hours (from our perspective):
https://nssg.trendmicro.com/nrs/reports/rank.php?page=3D1
=2E..and that's just the figure for one ASN with a bot
problem. And since virtually _all_ spam these days is
botnet-generated...
=2E..it gets worse, but I won't get into it here.
It's a very frustrating problem.
