Towards the end of last year the Internet Service Providers Association of South Africa (ISPA) released its first ‘ISPA Hall of Shame’ report<\/a>, naming and shaming South African spammers.  In this report four major spammers were named, namely Database Development, Dynamic Seminars, James Munro and The Peer Group. <\/p>\n

The second ISPA Hall of Shame report was released in mid-February, and this time no less than 11 well known spammers are listed.  The eleven culprits are:<\/p>\n

    Why the ‘name and shame’ spam report <\/strong><\/p>\n

    ISPA says that, as the representative of the vast majority of ISPs in South Africa, it is releasing its Hall of Shame report to assist South African consumers to effectively manage local unsolicited bulk email [spam]. <\/p>\n

    “There is currently significant growth in the generation of local spam and while ISPA’s members do their best to keep spam out of their customers’ inboxes, this does come at a cost.” <\/p>\n

    ISPA says that it believes that consumers should only receive bulk mail that they have requested and\/or consented to receive and\/or which they would expect to receive as a result of an existing relationship.<\/p>\n
