The authors of this article have absolutely no idea what they're talking about - and what's worse is they sprinkle this kind of crap throughout the article.
>Mr. Kamphuis said Cyberbunker was retaliating against Spamhaus for “abusing their influence.”
>“Nobody ever deputized Spamhaus to determine what goes and does not go on the Internet,” Mr. Kamphuis said. “They worked themselves into that position by pretending to fight spam.”
And this goes unchallenged? Honestly I can't believe they printed such bullshit! Everyone configures their MTA to use Spamhaus because it WORKS - nobody is forcing MTA admins to use it.
