Does your Internet provider profit from spam? Are you sick of receiving junk e-mail? Me too. What can we do about it?
One approach is to try to keep known offenders off the Internet. If no one will sell them access, they can't send their "spam." Of course, this system breaks down if an Internet provider willingly sells access to a known spammer.
According to The Spamhaus Project, at least two big Canadian companies contribute to the spam problem. Spamhaus records show that Bell Nexxia and Shaw Cable are providing Intenet services to companies or individuals that are verified senders of electronic junk mail. There may be other Canadian companies on the Spamhaus list, but these are the only two I recognize.
Spamhaus asks, "Does your ISP profit from your spam problem?" If so, what are you going to do about it?
Visit Spamhaus.org to see if your ISP is on the list.
