UK ISPs are targeting ecommerce websites run by spammers in a new ‘get tough’ policy on junk mail. ISPs belonging to the London Internet Exchange (LINX) have voted through acode of practice which gives them the mandate to shut down websites promoted through spam, even if junk mail messages are sent through a third-party or over a different network. The move is intended to remove the financial incentive to send spam.

LINX is also calling on ISPs to take down websites used to sell spamming tools, such as CDROMs containing millions of illegally-collected email addresses. The code of practice changes were voted through at an extraordinary general meeting of LINX, which handles more than 90 per cent of the UK’s Internet traffic.
