Thank you Dave and Ant 

But it appears that they either don't read their email or they just
don't care?

He's not there anymore. Went to Media 24. I think Nic Hralambous is the 
man to speak to.

Spam Volumes Drop by Two-Thirds After Firm Goes Offline

Spam Volumes Drop by Two-Thirds After Firm Goes Offline
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/

The volume of junk e-mail sent worldwide plummeted on Tuesday after a
Web hosting firm identified by the computer security community as a
major host of organizations engaged in spam activity was taken offline.
(Note: A link to the full story on McColo's demise is available here[1].)

Experts say the precipitous drop-off in spam comes from Internet
providers unplugging McColo Corp., a hosting provider in Northern
California that was the home base for machines responsible for
coordinating the sending of roughly 75 percent of all spam each day.

In an alert sent out Wednesday morning, e-mail security firm IronPort said:

  In the afternoon of Tuesday 11/11, IronPort saw a drop of almost 2/3
  of overall spam volume, correlating with a drop in IronPort's
  SenderBase queries. While we investigated what we thought might be a
  technical problem, a major spam network, McColo Corp., was shutdown,
  as reported by The Washington Post on Tuesday evening.

Spamcop.net's graphic shows a similar decline[2], from about 40 spam
e-mails per second to around ten per second -- if I'm reading that
graphic correctly.

A number of other spam-fighters today reported a similar drop in junk
e-mail volumes. I heard from a reader named Martin who works at a small
hosting facility in Germany. He wrote in after noticing a lack of spam
banging on his company's e-mail servers. He sent in this graphic and
asked that we not use his full name or identify his employer.

Advice needed - ISP Redundancy and ISP Future Landscape


   Hi All,
   I am not sure if this is related to the ambit of the IOZ newsletter
   content but i am going to take a shot as I know that there are some
   connected and skilled people on this list who are involved with the
   Tier 1's
   I think our company falls somewhere under Tier N+1 ;)
   As an introduction: One of our larger clients is running IS uncapped
   ADSL at all their offices and when a major MPLS or PoP failure occurs
   then they are crippled - They have asked us to present them with a
   future 'map' if i could call of the Internet space in south Africa for
   a 5 year plan as well as a recommendation of what CURRENT ISP is best
   for a redundant solution.
   My first question is: What would be the best ISP to go with at present
   for Internet redundancy (Don't want both networks being down at the
   same time if can be avoided) ?
   My second and last question is: Can the experts here give me their
   opinion on what the Internet "landscape" will be looking like in the
   future in relation to local network topology and international
   topology ? I'm not worried about the service layer much because most
   of the Tier 1's have a similar service structure (If one adopts adsl
   so will many etc..)
   Am i missing anything here ? If anyone has any high resolution
   diagrams that i can present that they can send me I'd really
   appreciate that
   I already have the SAIX one from here: (Link:
   [1]http://www.saix.net/cgi-bin/saix_topology.pl) but nothing from
   Neotel, IS, Verizon etc...
   Regards,
(Continue reading)

Assuming you mean ISP in the singular, that is a contradiction in terms: 
you need to go for two ISPs to get redundancy, and you need to make sure 
those two ISPs don't share common links.

This second part can be notoriously difficult to achieve, and it's up to 
you to do the legwork to make sure it is so.

Fortunately the stranglehold over the local loop is rapidly being 
broken, which means you can (or soon will be able to) get internet 
service from two ISPs and run over physically different networks, 
instead of being subject to Telkom induced local loop outages.

One option if the branch offices are in the ADSL league, is to run ADSL 
with a wireless[1] backup, or where it is offered use metro ethernet 
with ADSL (or wireless) as a backup.

[1] With the caveat that wireless actually works in your area.

Regards,
Graham
