Microsoft now 5th worst ISP for spam [Spamhaus]
Gawker: valleywag —
... properties to redirect visitors to sites that peddle fake pharmacy products, porn and Nigerian 419 scams." That's how WaPo security blogger Brian Krebs explains Microsoft's appearance on the list of Top 10 Worst Spam Service ISPs maintained by the non-profit Spamhaus Project. Krebs got a non-denial denial from Microsoft that overlooks the fact that many of the scams have been high-profile examples for months. As Krebs points out, even the directionless dweebs at Yahoo (I'm paraphrasing) fixed this problem on their own sites. ...

Google Named the #3 Abuse Provider

... and create GMail accounts from which to spam. Because the spam comes from a domain reputation systems can't block because it's so popular, spam from these accounts has a leg up on many anti-spam systems. But some other ISPs and mail service providers with lousy reputations, in the older sense of the word, are not in the top 10.
