[NANOG] Earthlink Relayed Spam Increase

Hey Y'all,

We're seeing a marked increase of spam originating from Earthlink mail
servers over the past week and a half. Is anyone else seeing a spike
localized to Earthlink as well?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Jason

We've seen a fair amount lately. Additionally, a couple of people I assist with administration were having issues due to their use of SORBS and several of Earthlink's mail servers being listed for several days.

I believe it. We generate our own list with temporary (6 hour blocks),
and Earthlinks servers seem to be rolling on and off regularly.
