Description Fred T 2004-03-15 11:46:59 UTC 
I've seen numerous spam claiming to be From  someone@news.com
I contacted their technical dept. regarding this and they informed me that they 
do not send e-mail from @news.com, anything they send comes from @cnet.com.

I am recommending that we add a default blacklist_from entry for this domain.

I'm attaching my initial response received from the cnet guys! (Thanks!)

I received another reply:


Fred, we stopped using @news.com for email because it was so abused by spammers.
 
We do not send or receive any email with the domain @news.com.
 
Our website is still very much in use, of course -- and we hope that any 
filtering measures you take are carefully implemented.
 
Thanks for reading.

Comment 7 Theo Van Dinter 2006-06-27 17:31:21 UTC 
This ticket hasn't been touched in ages, and I'd rather not get into keeping a
list of "unused" domains (wrt email anyway).
