[SFDXA] Fw: [QSL-Net] Why was ARRL blacklisted?

[Bill]

To answer the many inquiries as to what is going on...here is my opinion
> for what it's worth.
>
> We have 45,000 or so active mail users on QSL.NET, I deny about 300,000
> e-mails daily that are known spammers.
>
> ARRL.NET has reported they have 170,000 subscribers....lets assume they
get
> the same spam as we do, and scale it up....this means they get 1,200,000
> spam messages a day. They do no filtering so all of it is delivered. They
> reported 6000 users, or about 3% of their users are involved....3% of the
> spam would be over 36,000 delivered and stored for retrieval at Juno and
> Hotmail.
>
> Think of spam as junk-mail in your snail-mail box but all of it coming
> "Postage Due"....it costs an incredible amount of money to support the
> bandwidth it takes to process spam. We are a tiny operation compared to
> Juno or Hotmail but we have $60K work of  hardware and a $1600 a month
> access charge for what we do. These companies have many times that.
>
> This is why they got booted and I agree they needed to. Now maybe they
will
> fix their problem that have been ignoring for the last 4 years.
