Default SPAMMER Blacklist

Peggie, that wouldn't work. The spamsters have taken to infecting peoples

Ok...but trust me, the technology DOES exist that would allow ISPs to
figure out to block spam before it gets to their users' mailboxes. It
will cost them $$ to develop it, which means it will prob'ly take
legislation to make 'em do it. And that's a real shame...'cuz that only
means that all the ISPs' talk about blocking spam is nothing more than
talk. Yahoo doesn't even block incoming spam from spammers using
spoofed Yahoo addresses...but how hard can it be to match return
addresses on incoming mail against your own bloomin' account list and
block all that doesn't match an existing account??
