Summary This posting summarizes my list of addresses associated with junk email.
Newsgroups news.admin.net-abuse.email
Message-ID <spam-digest-1-860569238@qualcomm.com>
Posted-By: auto-faq 3.2.1.4
Archive-name: spam-digest
Posting-Frequency: monthly (on the 9th)
Wed Apr 9 0:00:07 US/Pacific 1997: 2950 entries
This periodic posting summarizes the contents of my Big List of Email
Spammers. The contents of the list are drawn from junk email that arrives
at my mailbox and from reports posted to news.admin.net-abuse.sightings
and news.admin.net-abuse.email; each entry is an email address associated
with a piece of junk email. There are no duplicates; however, several
addresses are often associated with a single mailing.
The list excludes addresses at certain sites that are associated with
large volumes of junk email from multiple addresses; these sites are
listed below.
Addresses are removed from the list when I'm convinced that the relevant
mailing has been stopped.
The list contains many obviously forged addresses; some are probably the
email addresses of innocent victims. No attempt has been made to exclude
these addresses, as the purpose of the list is to recognize junk email, not
to enumerate guilty parties. For this reason, among others, I won't make
the list itself available.
This posting is intended to provide a snapshot of the state of junk email.
It is automatically generated and posted to news.admin.net-abuse.email on
the 9th of every month.
Please report any problems to Nathan Tenny <ntenny@qualcomm.com>. You
don't need to report the bug that causes New York to be classified as a
country; I already know about it.
The contents of this posting do not represent an official statement on
the part of Qualcomm, Inc. I work for them but I don't speak for them.
===========================================================================
Excluded Sites
==============
Addresses at these sites are *omitted* from the Big List. I have blocked
incoming email from these sites, either because they are dedicated sources
of junk mail, or because they are essentially innocent sites that have
persistent problems with email spammers. The second category is important;
it means that many of the entries in this list are *not* *dedicated* *spam*
*sites*.
It would be inappropriate for anyone to block email from these sites solely
because of this list; seek independent confirmation. Any list of this
nature is necessarily a product of personal judgement; these are sites from
which *I* choose not to receive email because of their junk email problems,
but not everyone will agree. Moreover, while the list is accurate to the
best of my knowledge, I have made mistakes in maintaining it in the past
and will probably do so in the future.
Under no circumstances should any malicious action be taken towards a site
based on its inclusion in this list.

(5.83% apparent non-US spam)
Top 20+ sources:
This list is probably the least meaningful part of this posting. It
attempts to list the 20 domains that appear most frequently in the Big
List. (The list is extended as necessary to accommodate ties, so that
"extra" domains with enough appearances to make the list are included.)
However, since the Big List contains many forgeries, these totals are
largely fictional. In particular, huge numbers of email spammers forge
return addresses at aol.com; hence the large total for aol.com should be
taken with many grains of salt.
The results are also skewed by the differing practices of ISPs in reporting
to the Usenet community when they eliminate spammers. AT&T WorldNet, for
instance, is said to terminate spammers' accounts, but does not report such
terminations to the world at large; therefore I can't know when to remove
att.net (==worldnet.att.net) addresses from the list.
The figures for netcom.com include ix*.netcom.com, but not netcom.ca. The
number for att.net should really be labeled "worldnet.att.net"; there is
a separate domain called att.net, but all the att.net entries in the Big
List are actually from WorldNet.
1. aol.com: 132
2. netcom.com: 99
3. att.net: 50
4. compuserve.com: 28
5. concentric.net: 26
6. prodigy.net: 19
7. sprynet.com: 19
8. cris.com: 17
9. gnn.com: 15
10. msn.com: 14
11. bellsouth.net: 12
12. ibm.net: 11
13. gte.net: 10
14. demon.co.uk: 9
15. flash.net: 9
16. pacbell.net: 8
17. slip.net: 7
18. ios.com: 7
