Rob,

This report doesn't surprise me in the least.  It seems
the vast majority of targeted PCs for "zombie recruitment"
are some sort of "broadband" connected, probably always
on, 24-7-365 type connection.  So, perhaps the most sensible
and effective approach to eliminate about 85 percent of
spam would be...are you ready?...
GET RID OF 24-7-365 BROADBAND INTERNET CONNECTIONS!!!
Hmmm...if everyone were only on dialup, such as myself, spam
problems could be drastically reduced!  However, I don't see 
very many users giving up their highspeed internet anytime soon!
So, the next best option, since all those filters, IP Address blocks,
etc etc etc ad nauseum are ineffective...why not push for users to
use something for email other than MS Outlook or Outlook Express!
Also, users that are not competent should not be allowed to have
their 24-7-365 connection...let them "dial up" after a manner of speaking
to at least authenticate themselves and their machines.
Just a few thoughts...another 2 cents from Wiz!!  Sheesh, if I keep this
up I'll have to work an extra hour or two to pay off these 2 centers!!
C U L8R!
