[2] The main reasons that sites are listed here are summarized as follows:
- Spam Engine
- Site involved in the production, maintenance, or hosting of automated spam tools, such as "complaint-proof" hosting arrangements, selling or exchanging e-mail mailing lists, or spam-sending software tools.
- E-mail Spam
- Massive unsolicited bulk e-mail originating from this site.
- Usenet Spam
- Excessive Usenet multi-posting originating from this site.
- Front for Spammers
- Repeated pattern of providing direct network access to email or Usenet spammers or providing virtual hosting services to spammers, without evidence of any other type of business.
- Advertised by Spam
- Site hosts Web or other services advertised by spam, and does not hold customers responsible.
- Lax ISP
- Internet Service Provider that is repeatedly exploited by spammers to send out unsolicited bulk e-mail, and puts no mechanisms in place to prevent future spams. Note: it is difficult to sanction these sites without also affecting innocent customers who have purchased accounts and/or connectivity from these ISPs.
[3] The main reasons that sites or IP addresses are removed from the rogues' list are summarized as follows:
- Policy Change
- Site has implemented policies to prevent former abuses.
- Address Reassigned
- The IP address or address range in question is no longer assigned to the abusive site, generally because the service provider has terminated the abuser's service.
