Speaking of questionable domains, how do people feel about link-builder.com. I get nothing but spam from them. -lindsay
Their domain's been registered for about three years. If they were major spammers wouldn't they be shut down by now?
They may spam web site owners, but seem to have a removal procedure:
# "I am not interested in linking at all - please do not contact me again".
In either case they're not whitelisted in SURBLs.
Frankly I'm a lot more interested in catching the professional pharma, mortgage, etc. spammers who steal services, use zombies, etc. After they are eradicated we can go after the "annoyance" spammers. The worst offenders should be the top priority, especially since the criminal spammer doesn't seem to be stoppable in other ways.
Most quasi-legitimate companies probably can be stopped from spamming since they are subject to the legal system and their mostly legitimate ISP AUPs in ways that the criminal spammers aren't.
