BLUE SECURITY, a firm which promotes an anti-spam "Do Not Intrude Registry" which spams spammers says it has received threatening emails from a Russian spam king.
The outfit's Israeli researchers spend all day looking at spam it receives and traces a message to a partiicular Web site. They then complain or opt out and overwhelm the server with opt-out requests or complaints.
The action seems to have miffed one of the spammers who mailed users of the firm's BlueFrog anti-spam software saying that the Blue Security database would be given to the worst spammers worldwide.
"You signed up because you were expecting to recieve a lesser amount of spam, unfortunately, due to the tactics used by BlueSecurity, you will end up recieving this message, or other nonsensical spams 20-40 times more than you would normally," the message reads.
"In 48 hours, and every 48 hours thereafter, we will run our current list of BlueSecurity subscribers through BlueSecurity's database, if you arent there.. you wont get this again," the spammer threatens.
So far more than 500,000 are on the Blue Frog database and it must be giving the spammer a headache.
Blue Security said that they didn't know who he was, other than the fact he was Russian and that his operation was very big.
A SpokesFrog said that the chances of the Russian getting his paws on the registry were a little remote.
"The Registry is encrypted. He's using scare tactics and outright lies to further his agenda. Our members are not in any jeopardy of 'exposure' since the spammers already have their addresses. That is why they joined the Blue Community, to stop spam at its source," the SpokesFrog croaked. µ

We are gonna DDOS The Spam servers.
That actually could work? If the government had a "bank" of computers to "freeze" spam servers, much in the same way they freeze bank accounts of terrorist orginizations, but really, once the server is identified, couldnt the dns servers deny that server access?
but what i was doing was relating the principle of things, the government could call the isp, or just ddos the server if it is hosted by the spammer (most likely)
even if they had their own dns servers, their are still the top level servers that control everything, which just happen to conveinently be placed in the united states.
