Spamware vendor list

Save the net - kill a spamhaus today!

Updated Aug 28 2001

Do you ever wonder why so many new users end up spamming?
How do they send out so much mail without any programming skill?
Where do they get the addresses from?
The answer is that there are many sites on the web willing to sell spamming resources to gullible newcomers.

The link below leads to a list all the sites we know of which do one or more of the following things:

Sell bulk E-mail software which has a "stealth" or filter avoidance mode
Sell software designed to "harvest" E-mail addresses from the net
Sell E-mail addresses extracted from the net ("targeted" or not)
Sell services, media or software with spammer specific features
Provide bulk mailing services to non-opt in lists
Provide "bulletproof" services for spammers
Redirects to or promotes links to web sites which do the above

Simple mail list software, list washers and extractors which are not net based are not listed as there are some valid non-spam related applications.

See the main list of 625 live spamware sites and the list of 3595 dead/reformed sites.
There are both framed and frameless indices of ISP's with 5 or more entries.

Current kill rate is: 85.2% and the current live site RBL rate is: 8.5%

When reporting new sites please check the checklist of all known sites first.

By popular request here's the list of IP addresses of live sites over 14 days old.
