Antispam Group Outlines Defenses to Block Botnet Spam

Antispam groups have come up with several ways to combat botnet spam but, as far as I can see, the trick is going to be getting everyone to play along. Here’s to hoping they can get ISPs to listen to reason.

ISPs can fix this by separating the servers that receive e-mail and ones that then forward e-mail. That way, ISPs can filter out spam coming into the accounts before forwarding, taking a look at the messages and spotting which ones came from dodgy domains, Cox said.
