IP reputation is a huge thing in the spam world. they pay top dollar for residential US/UK/etc IPs which they can then use for spamming others. and we're not talking one or two IPs. we're talking 100s of thousands of IPs being transacted daily globally. all for spam. for anyone interested in seeing how low we've come, they have a huge convention in Las Vegas. one should visit it to better understand a field that has been growing like crazy but so few know it. apparently everyone is preparing for a big boom next year, with 10s of $B ready to be deployed.
