An organization dedicated to reducing spam tried to get Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) in Asian countries to stop the spammers by protecting their mail servers. When this effort was unsuccessful, the anti - spam organization put the address of these ISP’s on its “blocked list”. Many ISP’s in the Philippines consulted the blocked list and refused to accept email from the blocklisted ISP’s. This action had two results.

Second, ten of thousands of innocent computer users in the East Asian country were unable to send email to friends and business associates in the Philippines.

  • Those that benefited from the organization actions were the typical users that saw a 25 percent decrease in the rate of spam emails.
