Blue Security - AntiSpam

July 21, 2005 on 5:45 pm | In Sysadmin |


Recently I stumbled over this company: Blue Security

They basically keep track of the spam you forward to them and file complaints on your behalf. I have had it running for 2-3 days now, but I haven’t yet noticed any reduction in the spam that I receive (about 100/day on my personal account).

Here is a quote from their site: “The Do Not Intrude Registry is enforced by the Blue Community and uses Blue Security’s Active Deterrence, a patent-pending technology that disrupts the business of merchants, advertisers and spammers who choose to ignore the Do Not Intrude Registry.”

I am going to continue using it for a while and see if it helps… if so I will post about it again… Meanwhile I think it is a cool idea and that it has some potential for positive results.

  1. Blue Security is the best tool available for fighting SPAM. The proof is in the pudding. On May 1st, a few spammers began fighting back by sending emails to all of their standard addressees claiming that they cracked the Blue Security code and that the are increasing the amount of spam to everyone on the Blue Security opt-out list. Then, they follow it up with 20 or 30 additional spam emails. It’s a desperate attempt to have people remove themselves from the Blue Security list.

    In reality, they have not cracked the code. They are sending the email to everyone on THEIR list. There will probably be a few who buckle under and remove themselves from Blue Security’s opt-out list but I think most will understand the importance of standing up to these scumbags.

    In effect the spammers are saying that if you don’t allow us to send you spam - we’ll send you even more spam. It’s like saying, if I’m not allowed to enter your home and rape your wife any time I want - I’ll rape your entire family. Who would put up with such a threat? As for me - I’ll fight em’ to the death.

    They can’t keep up their fight very long. It costs these losers money to send tens of thousands of emails. Stick together people! Don’t be intimidated by these pathetic criminals. Hurray for Blue Security! The spammers attempt to fight back is proof that it’s working!

  2. I am with you!! I was so happy when I got the threat from the spammers. I knew I was making a difference. I wrote the BlueSecurity group and encouraged them to take the gloves off. I even looked up a few of these scumbags in the whois databases and reported them directly myself. It is about time the ISP’s shut these spammers down. And as far as taking people off the list that don’t want to be off the list I think is BS. If anyone wants the Viagra/enlargement or low interest rates and priated software they will know how to use Google to find this stuff on their own. Keep up the good work Blue Security!!!

  3. Me too! I’m with the Blue Boys….. anything and everything they can do to stop these scum, more especially that big russian scumbag, is definitely OK with me - as they’re ‘off air’ presently I’m saving all my juicy spams for later. Up boys, return fire!
