Spammer Listing

Aragorn: There is a war going on.
King Theoden: I will not risk open war.
Aragorn: Open war is upon you, whether you risk it or not.

There is a war going on � a spam war that threatens to destroy the Internet. Politicians are the geldings in the war and are doing nothing. Over 20 million crawlable servers are blacklisted as spam servers. Help destroy the spammers and have fun at the same time! Launch attacks on the spammers yourself and vote the gelding politicians out!

Spam, or unsolicited commercial email, is a type of denial of service clogging our Internet channel, preventing the delivery of valid mail, causing the propagation of viruses and worms, and often contains fraud attempts and attempts at identity theft. There is NOTHING legal about spam stealing my Internet channel, taking my time, and using my computer.

To quote Jim Louderback, Editor-in-Chief at PC Magazine:

We can’t rely on someone else to fix this problem…Although the bad guys are ultimately to blame, each of us, individually and collectively, holds the power to wipe them out. “

Here are some Cool IPs for You Can Use as You Wish

These are illegal IPs and domains that are doing spam (violating the CAN-SPAM act) or phishing us or, in some cases, doing outright fraud. We invite you to report them to the FTC, your state Attorney General, The Direct Marketing Assoction, or try to destroy them. We report all of these to the FTC now.

Currently we only list illegal or fraud spam IPs. This "illegal" definition is that of the CAN-SPAM law - a very weak law that needs to be strengthened. Other IPs included are those that have phished us.

This is our black list. It is expensive for us to manage this list and mail it at times to such as the Direct Marketing Association, FTC, my senators and legislators, President Bush, state Attorney Generals, and the regional Better Business Associations when relevant. These IPs listed here often go on to be a part of commercial black lists used by host systems.

This list is free and not copyrighted. You may use it for whatever purpose you wish. If you wish the list in a Microsoft Access format, we will be happy to email it to you. We assume no liabilities - these sites are already outside of the moral, legal,and ethical boundaries of using the Internet. Please do not send us IPs to add to this. These listed are IPs that we know are bad. Build your own black list.

This is a list of hosts: Hosts, you are legally are liable for the actions of any spammer or phisher that you host or relay to us and as a result of a listing here may experience problems such as a denial of service attack, virus attack, or worse as a result of being on this list. You should take legal action against the spammer - we are simply reporting their illegal action to the hackers and the IP and domain they used. If you experience problems from the anyone hacking your host, you should bill the spammer for any liabilities. In addition, you may wish to clear the entry here by paying the fine. That, too, should be billed to the spammer. The list here is that of the host - we have no way of discerning who the spammer was using the indicated host. The host can, however, discern who the spammer is that is using their system. For this reason the host is legally held liable. If you are a host and don't like this, you should report this to the FTC and Congress. The Administration (FTC) has the primary responsibility for the failure to stop this stuff. Congress is the one to set the fines big enough that the FTC can afford to stop them. They have failed, so the users have to fight it.

You will notice some major hosting sites on this listing. If the host has an abuse email address, we use it to let them know a spammer is using them. They can then choose to stay on the listing or pay the fine. We send them the header information that they need to stop the spammer and collect the fine from them to pay us. Some major hosting sites, however, don't read their abuse email. That's their problem - not ours.

In many cases the domain referenced as the "from" in the spammer's email doesn't work. That is also a violation of the CAN-SPAM act and illegal. In that case we trace back on the spammer's email header and post here the real spammer's sending email IP.

We encourage other sites to build their own black lists. If we kill enough IPs, maybe the authorities will wake up and do what they are supposed to do. AOL, for example, has their own black list. Most high quality hosts (such as our own) have them. Some of the IPs here have been promoted to the commercial lists.

How to Clear Your Listing

If you have an IP on this list, it is there because of illegal activity on the part of the spammer using the listed host. The cost is $200 to have a listing removed. If you have multiple IPs on the list, the first is $200 US to remove and the others are $100 US each. Then you should bill the spammer. Our cost to manage this list is far more than that, as we have to constantly email information to the FTC, congresspeople, DMA, state Attorney Generals, and more. We just want a clean Internet. Mail your check to OPM, 8325 SW Mohawk, #48, Tualatin, OR 97062, USA. We clear the record when the check clears. Until then, your listing stays here permanently and circulates to other black lists and commercial lists. For faster clearing, send a certified check or use our PayPal with your account set up as "verified". We suggest clearing the record here, then billing the spammer to minimize problems with IP instabilities while the listing is active.

Be sure your IP or domain name is in the memo field of the check or PayPal transaction so we can delete the corresponding record.

If there is only a single listing to clear, you can do it through our PayPal account using:

The longer you leave a listing here, the more it circulates. Your listing keeps getting blacker!

What You Can Do with this List

1. Print a copy and sent it to the Federal Trade Commission. (Reporting email address there is spam@ftc.gov.) Let them know they are failing you. They are not enforcing the laws written by Congress. Then vote the Administration and its party out if it doesn't change.
   
2. Send a copy to your Congressperson. The laws should be stronger. Let them know it is important to you. Very important. Vote 'em out if the can't hear you.
   
3. If spam isn't stopped, the Internet is dead. Until the FTC acts, the problem falls back into the hands of the user. Work with the hosts here in whatever way you wish to stop the spam. If the host doesn't respond, take 'em down.
   
4. Make your own black list. Share it with others. By networking the lists and working together, you can force the hosts to respond. Blog your black list and comment about the problem in other blogs, referencing your own black list. Learn what other people are doing with their black lists. Set up multiple blogs that point to your black list. Watch the PageRank of your black list go up as the traffic builds.

The Listing Codes

The Note codes are as follow:

Note: Some of the domains may not work now - having been take down by authorities or the user. The black-listed IP and domain, though, are still an open IP on the host system or on the Internet. It could be used by someone else. Our objective is to see the IP taken down (nuked) until this fine is paid to us for the illegal activity. It's not enough for the host to just shut the spammer down. The IP is still black-listed as a bad IP and available to the hackers. Passing the bad IP to the next guy doesn't solve the problem.

NOTE!
