I was just going to put up a quick post about anti-spam list non-profit Spamhaus being ordered to pay $11.7 million in damages. Spamhaus publishes a list of sites known to produce Spam, which anti-SPAM software programs use to block Spam from these sites. Seems they included e360insight's address in their list. This hacked off e360insight, an email marketing company (!?). I leave it to you to determine whether e360insight is a Spammer or not.
Meanwhile, I was reading the article on the InformationWeek site and suddenly I was redirected to a page that played a sort-of video promoting HP blade servers. If I was ever going to buy an HP blade server, I won't now. Shame on you, InformationWeek. If I wanted to read an ad for HP servers, I know the HP web address. I'd go there. What in the world are you doing?
Oh, here;s the summary of the article from InformationWeek:
A U.S. District Court judge ordered anti-spam organization Spamhaus to pay $11.7 million in damages against an e-mail marketing company. The U.K.-based Spamhaus said the U.S. court had no jurisdiction, and ignored it. Now, anti-spam advocates worry that the judge might order ICANN to eliminate the Spamhaus domain.
