	The Spamhaus Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spamhaus Project is a largely volunteer effort founded by Steve Linford in 1998 that aims to track e-mail spammers and spam-related activity.
		Spamhaus is responsible for the two most widely-used DNSBLs in the anti-spam arena -- the Spamhaus Block List and the Exploits Block List.
		As Spamhaus is operated out of the United Kingdom, it is subject to the U.K. Data Protection Act 1998 which restricts its ability to publish private information legally.

	Law turns tables on antispam group \| Tech News on ZDNet
		Spamhaus founder Steve Linford revealed told the Openwave messaging anti-abuse conference in London this week that this legislation has had a counterproductive effect.
		Spamhaus tracks spamming operations across the world and operates a fllist that helps ISPs to block some of the many millions of unsolicited junk e-mails they try and send every day.
		Their argument, he said, revolves around the claim that the U.K. government has introduced the privacy and electronic communications regulations that explicitly ban some forms of spam--and that because they are acting within this law their activities are explicitly permitted.

	Macs help The Spamhaus Project take on spam
		Linford's main servers are Power Mac G4s and Xserves, but the heart of his network is a G4 Cube that maintains his Spamhaus Block List (SBL), which involves feeding real-time database changes to 300 worldwide servers that help more than 200 million SBL users reject around 8 billion spam e-mails a day.
		But that could do little to stem a spam flood that Linford projects will account for 80% of all e-mail by the end of this year and 90% by next summer.
		Because Spamhaus is run by volunteers like himself, he expects that he may soon have to transition part of its services to a funded model.
