[Gllug] Virus on Linux/Mac

[t.clarke]

On the subject of spambots  -if ISPs were forced to:
a) block outgoing smtp port connections from all machines with dynamic IP
addresses
b) bock outgoing smtp port connections from all machines with static IP
addresses that havn't registered with them as a mail-sender

that might reduce the volume of spam considerably.


Seems to me that home  and 'small' users with dynamic IP addresses can
easily enough send their mail via their ISP  rather than by direct SMTP.
