SPEWS receives spam at its spamtrap addresses, sends complaints, lists when complaints arent acted on. No one has the ability, supposedly, to make nominations, and SPEWS does not accept email. They research before listing, and link to pages of spam victims who post evidence against the spammers to augment their own evidence. Discussion is happening on both NANAE and SPAM-L SPEWS listing: http://www.spews.org/html/S1488.html Page they think caused the SPEWS listing: http://www.vtgts.com/auspam.htm Mirrors, just in case: http://www.spamblocked.com/auspam.html http://oriez.org/spammerscum/ausspam.html respondent: "Jomac" <jomacat_private> cartooney for the plaintiff: http://www.tan-tan.com.au/ enquiries@tan-tan.com.au IPAs to block for anyone not using SPEWS: T3Group |-------------------- 1, 202.154.73.131, t3direct.com.au 1, 202.154.79.66, mail.t3direct.com.au 1, 202.154.79.0/25, t3direct.com.au 1, 202.139.241.136, www.t3direct.com.au 1, 202.139.241.128/25, t3direct.com.au 1, 203.55.16.6, titan.t3direct.com.au 1, 203.55.16.0/25, t3direct.com.au ---------------------| Upstream of spammer is swiftel.com.au Statement of T3 on their web page at http://www.t3direct.com.au/privacy.asp admitting that they spam: "Collection of Marketing Information from the WWW We collect eMail contact addresses from various publicly available sources and other marketing promotions. We understand you may wish NOT to receive information from us by eMail. To be removed from our lists simply write to adminat_private with "REMOVE" in the subject line. We maintain a "Opt Out" List and we will add your request to that list." So they add email addresses without permission. They're going to have a hard time claiming now that they don't. --- Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 17:55:20 +1000 From: Glenn Barry <gbarryat_private> Organization: McCallum Consultants To: Neil Schwartzman <neilat_private>, declanat_private Subject: Re: LEGAL: T3 Direct Spammers Sues Anti Spammer Neil Schwartzman wrote: > You should send this to Declan McCullah at declanat_private; he'll > print it on politech, for sure, and maybe cover it for wired. this is > quite serious ...
