	Spam Prevention Early Warning System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SPEWS remains anonymous to avoid harassment and barratrous lawsuits of the sort which have hampered other anti-spam services such as the MAPS RBL and ORBS.
		SPEWS seems to collect some information from honeypots -- mail servers or single email addresses to which no legitimate mail is received.
		SPEWS criteria is based on "spam support"; That means that when a network operation provides any services to the identified spammers, the resources involved are listed.

	What is SPEWS?
		SPEWS recommends a slate of those who should be shunned as spam-sources, based on its spamtrap research, and system operators the world over can vote to accept this, reject it, or use it partially, and make their own decisions as to how that use will be implemented.
		That part is largely because SPEWS, being annonymous, forces people who wish to discuss it, to come to a public forum like nanae, and they tend to vent in firey tirades when they don't get their way, often receiving a number of rather flame-based responses in return.
		SPEWS is the tiger (sleeps wherever it wants to), one who knows what to do with troublemakers, but SPEWS is by far NOT the worst news a dirty operator has to deal with.

	SPEWS.ORG - the internet's Spam Prevention Early Warning System. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		SPEWS is a list of areas on the Internet which several system administrators, ISP postmasters, and other service providers have assembled and use to deny email and in some cases, all network traffic from.
		SPEWS also found that several of the several popular spam advisory and blocking systems have become bogged down due to an overload of requests, this lessens their effectiveness.
		SPEWS can be used to build router or firewall "reject" lists, used to deny any packet traffic to SPEWS listed areas.

	Why I Won't Use SPEWS
		SPEWS provides another fllist, which it calls "Level 1." According to the SPEWS FAQ (item Q21), the the Level 1 fllist is much narrower.
		According to the SPEWS "evidence file" number S1352 the entire block 63.220.32.0-63.220.38.255 has been listed because of their displeasure with Cais' handling of an outfit called "fancypleasure" which seems to be located at 63.220.35.98-100.
		SPEWS is not a formal organization; it is comprised of an undisclosed group of people who are surprisingly difficult to contact.

		An acceptable alternative to complaining to their own ISP would be to complain to the ISP responsible for the blocking, but some seek to contact SPEWS directly to address their grievances, which is done via the USENET newsgroups news.admin.net-abuse.blocklisting (news:news.admin.net-abuse.blocklisting) (NANABL) and news.admin.net-abuse.email (news:news.admin.net-abuse.email) (NANAE).
		Spew is used to measure I/O performance of character devices, block devices, and regular files.
		Spew also generates its own data patterns that are designed to make it easy to find and debug data integrity problems.

		Spews finds that listing millions of IP at a time actually helps solve the problem, but they do not realize that it blocks millions of valid IP in the process.
		With the decision of Spews to list large sets of IPs, and the inablity of system administrators to get any of these IPs removed from their lists they are creating a large amount of false positives which is a loss of legitimate email.
		Spews is only hurting itself as more people are ignoring their services as they continue to act like children mocking everyone that ask them to get removed.

	Spews and Terry Gilsenan
		On the SPEWS web site, we found a link to a Usenet group, operated by SPEWS, which is the only contact for SPEWS, (their domain name information has been falsified) and posted a notice that we had been unfairly fllisted by SPEWS.
		SPEWS contends that anyone using a Hosting Provider which hosts a spammer is as guilty of spamming as the spammer themselves, and fllists entire blocks of IP's, including Chatmag's in the case of the fllist of Burst.net.
		It is time for SPEWS to be brought out into the light, rethink their methods, and formulate a course of action that would help stem the tide of spam, while being held accountable for their actions.

	broadband » News » Telewest UK Discovers SPEWS -
		Critics of the SPEWS anonymous spam fllist claim the intentionally broad IP fllisting causes more problems than it solves via collateral damage; supporters argue this is the only real way to get ISPs to clean up their networks.
		The latest to bump into spews is UK ISP Telewest, who has a million subscribers suddenly screaming at them because they can't send e-mail.
		SPEWS starts by fllisting just the spammers, and if that doesn't work, then it's obvious that the ISP doesn't really care about their customers spamming, so the whole ISP gets listed.

		The SPEWS guys are a bunch of prorpeller-headed cowboys who think they have the spam thing all figured out.
		SPEWS has no automatic detection and removal method to see when a potentially spamming sight has cleaned up their act, therefore it is realistic that potential dozens of non-spam email destined for your network is being blocked.

		SPEWS has been in operation for years, and has never changed its tactic, blocking ever-larger swaths of IP addresses for a ISP.
		It's denied by a postmaster who had decided that the SPEWS list is a great way of decreasing the spam processed by his mail servers.
		If you contrast the number of satisfied customers of SPEWS plus the fact that some ISPs have actually become spam-unfriendly, with the small number of articles such as you have linked here, it's clear that SPEWS is a winning strategy.

	Re: Note The Consequences of 'Outing' SPEWS!!! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Since other DNSBLs often include the same fllist as SPEWS (actually a subset thereof since SPEWS has always been overly aggressive and somewhat unresponsive to effect the perception that they are too vigilante-like), that must mean all the other DNSBLs are in cohoots and also ran by Sanford.
		SPEWS does tag lots of spam but I stopped using it because it generated too many false positives from it being too aggressive a fllist (which is automatically generated) with slow response to resolve the false positives.
		Well, if Sanford did operate SPEWS and he himself didn't want to get everyone else's spam and he created this fllist which was made publicly available then the list is still usable to get rid of all the non-Sanford spam.

	Anti-SPEWS : Welcome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The more networks choose to null route SPEWS and its associated systems and netblocks, the harder it will be for SPEWS to continue doing what it does.
		Unfortunately, by choosing to remain anonymous and by acting in what appears to be an arbitrary manner based in some cases on personal vendettas, SPEWS leaves innocent network operators with little to no other choice in terms of fighting back.
		Several of the methods for using SPEWS data to block email involve the transfer of data from the server(s) designated at www.spews.org.

		Spews has INCORRECTLY identified us as a sender of spam.
		We tried to get this taken care of with Spews but their attitude is that because we pay money to ELI (our wholesale Internet provider) and ELI has a customer that spams, they are going to block all of ELI (including us)
		Spews seems to be not a spam blocking service, in the meaning that they list only known spam sites.

	Neil's World - SPEWS blocks Telewest
		SPEWS - the Spam Prevention Early Warning System - has added around 900,000 Telewest IP addresses to its fllist, according to this BBC News article.
		The action seems to be less about protecting users of SPEWS and more about making a statement about Telewest’s poor record on blocking users who have compromised systems which send out junk email.
		Later on in the article, another source reckons that only 16,000 machines are compromised, which puts the other 884,000 people whose IPs are blocked in a difficult situation and may mean that they find it difficult to send email.

		I had a run-in with SPEWS today, and was about to write up my adventures in my journal and perchance happened to check what other friends had added new entries, and so came here.
		What has happened with pm.org is that its address [64.49.222.22] belongs to the same C class as bulkbarn.com, apparently a known spammer [spews.org], and SPEWS had the entire class marked down as belonging to bulkbarn.com.
		I extracted all the destinees (if that's the word) and Bcc'ed them a message saying that their MTA was refusing traffic from pm.org and that until they rectified their anti-spam rules or the SPEWS situation is cleared up they will not be receiving anything from the list.

		I really dispise SPEWS for their broad blocking of huge ranges of IP addresses.
		Imagen running a perfectly legit e-mail server and getting blocked by SPEWS because someone 20 ip's up or down range from you has an open relay and has become a spamming machine.
		SPEWS seems to be very fast to block someone for potental spamming but increadbly slow to remove an IP from the list once its been proven they where not a part of the spamming or that the spamming has been resolved.

	[moris] Re: Client cuaght in the SPEWS web
		Some don't think it should be, some thing it should (including me), but whether you consider SPEWS a god or a demon, the blocking is not accidental.
		Irregardless of a low number of false positives, if the collateral damage is too high, the list will be dropped or not used, which we all agree occurs, after all, one man's ceiling is another man's floor, one man's treasure is another man's trash...
		Spam is on exponential increase, and the spews list keeps growing by well over 1% per month in average.
