Now consider that 99,9999% of the "trojan spam" and viruses come from
Windows machines, thanks to the lack of security provided by this
so-called operating system, and now you know where the problem really is.
The problem, actually, is not with the users.
0,0001% ?
Do not make false claims. There is a lot of misconfigured SendMail, Squid,
mailto.cgi and hacked *nix boxes. Even more - some of hacked boxes have
firewall-less 100Mbit+ internet connections and unristricted traffic. Do
not make false claims anymore plz.
Maybe I wasn't precise enough, so you didn't understand my meaning. In the
context of the conversation, I was talking about machines that sends tons of
spam (because of trojans and viruses) that are commonly found on IAP's
customers networks (cable, DSL...)
I wasn't talking about 99,9999% of spam in general, but 99,9999% of spam
coming from such trojaned end-user machines.
I know there actually are cracked *nix boxes with high bandwidth and
unrestricted traffic, but:
1/ They have generally fixed IP (so can be blacklisted rather quick)
2/ They are usually not on IAP's end-users cable/DSL networks, and thus are
not relevant in the issue of "IAPs deciding to filter port 25" that we were
discussing.
Regards.
