Spam project pulls plug
Source: ComputerWorld
________ December 21, 2006 (TechWorld.com) -- Anti-spam blacklist service, The Open Relay Database (ORDB), has pulled the plug after five and a half years because of spammers' growing sophistication. ORDB was designed to deal with a technique in which spammers used SMTP proxy servers to flood the internet with junk email. The project distributed a blacklist of mail servers that allowed third-party relay -- "open relays" -- and were thus liable to be used by spammers. |

The best solution is to force education about spam emails, the only reason they exist is because there are so many fools following spam emails, links and messages.
