Registrar Spam Statistics
Most
unsolicited email typically has an "advertised
site" using a domain (i.e www.buymyproduct.com).
The above list represents the Registrar of record for each
such domain from spam received in ten separate email
accounts. For each spam received, a complaint was sent to
the Registrar thereby giving the Registrars an opportunity to resolve
any spam issues.
Score is a weighted score over the past
6 months. 6 points for each spam from the current
month, 5 points for each spam from the prior month and 4
points for each spam the month prior to that and so on. We feel
this will provide a more accurate representation of
current spam issues and also help Registrars Cleaning up
to be removed from this list quicker.
While
we realize the subject of holding Registrars accountable
for their spamming customers is controversial, we believe
that because they are taking money to in essence "
license" the domain name, they have a
responsibility to the Internet community to have policies
that permit termination of spamming
customers.
All
complaints are sent to abuse@Registrar
addresses. Some Registrars (Tucows,
ItsYourDomain & 000Domains) have
requested that they do not want to receive these
complaints. As we honor such requests, we cannot assume
responsibility for their lack of awareness of the above
data.
For
the purposes of this data, we have chosen not to
distinguish among services Registrars provide their
customers. It
is also important to note that we hold the hosting ISP
accountable as well and they were also notified (When
different from the Registrar) of the spam. |
