Spam Prevention Early Warning System. SPEWS is a DNS Blacklist similar to MAPS. SPEWS is a much more aggressive service than MAPS, listing spam sites immediately upon detection.

(SPEWS seems to have stopped updating its database as of August, 2006, and should not be used at this time. I will remove this notice if the situation changes. -- eaf)

SPEWS administrators are anonymous (to avoid the kind of lawsuits that destroyed ORBS and crippled MAPS). A site is listed in SPEWS when it spams, and is delisted when the spam stops.

    Major telephone/internet service provider. Merged with MCI and UUNet. As of July, 2006, the worst spam-friendly service provider in the world, with more than twice the spam issues of their nearest competitor.

    List of customers includes Ronnie Scelson, Atriks, Michael Lindsay, Datran, Eddy Marin, evidence-eliminator.com, Kraft, Daniel Lin, and many, many more.

    Brief history: Verizon was once in the SBL "Top Ten Worst" list. In early 2005, instituted new anti-spam policies and in two weeks, had zero SBL listings. In 2006, Verizon acquired MCI, and with it, UUNet under the Verizon Business brand. This has returned Verizon to the position of worst spam ISP on the internet. Unfortunately, it looks like Verizon Business has inherited the old MCI policy department, so it is impossible to know when or if Verizon will restore their image. As of July, 2006, Spamhaus remains highly optimistic and currently treats Verizon and Verizon Business as seperate entities.

    Y
    Originally an internet index service, Yahoo has branched out into other services such as free mailboxes. Yahoo permits spammers to use their services and is considered rogue. Yahoo!Store, the web space provider, is also rogue

    Yahoo is also frequently used as the fake "From" address. It is believed that Yahoo does not allow user ids that start with a digit, so anything that fits that pattern may safely be discarded as spam.
