Court declines to suspend Spamhaus domain
Good news for Internet email worldwide: a district court in the U.S. has rejected a motion from a spammer to suspend the spamhaus.org domain name. According to a press release by ICANN, the court rejected the motion as being " too broad to be warranted under the circumstances".
No kidding. As I discussed previously, such a suspension would result in a massive flood of spam around the world. On the mail servers we manage, we use the sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org blocklist and it accounts for rejecting about 40% of all spam received. It’s one of the most effective blocklists available, with very few false positives.
