Overview of spam from Porn4porn

Note: Automated spam monitoring stopped several years ago. These web pages are maintained for historical reasons. Some may be updated from time to time as news about the individual sites becomes available.

General information about Porn4porn

Porn4porn used to spam through lynet; next they spamed through St. Lawrence College, Ontario, CA but with the hostname obscured. Admins at St. Lawrence seem to have disconnected them. Then they spamed through sexzilla, leading me to believe that Porn4Porn and sexzilla are one and the same.

Whois indicates that porn4porn is:

  General notes:

  • Only a small subset of usenet (261 groups) was sampled. Only articles that hadn't been cancelled yet were counted. Actual spam may have been much greater.
  • Heuristics that detect single-posted articles are, by their very nature, somewhat shaky. Innocent articles may be tagged as spam because they share certain characteristics or keywords with actual spam. In particular, a posted spam complaint that includes the spam in its entirety will very often be identified as spam.
  • Some posts may be forgeries intended to look like they came from Porn4porn.
  • The first entry in the history file is not used to compute peak or average spam counts, as this entry covers an unknown number of days. This may cause an apparent disreprency between spam totals and spam averages.
