http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?c_id=5&ObjectID=10338203 My review of this article noted this paragraph: --8<-- Internet users will complain in the first instance to their internet provider about spam email, and the Department of Internal Affairs will act as an internet watchdog if the matter is taken further. --8<-- Now did I get the wrong end of the stick here, or is this saying that the onus of the ISP that provides connectivity to the Spam Receiver to act on complaints - or the DIA will be hounding them? Shouldn't the source ISP, and not the destination, be the people responsible for dealing with their own spam sources? I wrote a bit of a commentary of my own: http://www.blakjak.net/node/view/261 However wonder if this has come to the attention of anyone else yet... The first thing that jumps into my head is that ISPs are going to wind up having to do all the investigative legwork on the complaints they receive - and not many ISPS I know of are staffed to support this. Antispam costs for all providers going up - and probably going up in relation to the size of their customer base. Hmmm.... Mark.
