I also get a fair amount of SPAM from Adelphia IP addresses too . . . just
not quite as bad as CableVision, RoadRunner and Comcast.
BTW:
Forgot to mention that some of the more recent worms install a "backdoor"
access that allow a remote machine to use the "infected" one to send email
using the worm's SMTP engine . . . not just to propagate itself . . . but
to send SPAM. What a concept: create a worm, generate an army of remote
droids to do the dirty work with it and let others' accounts take the blame.
