Spamhaus is one of the biggest spam “blocking” organizations in the world. It is important to find out whether your Internet Service Provider uses this type of service to keep known spammers off their network. If they do not use an effective spam blocking system, your computer could fall prey to nuisance emails and dangerous “Trojan horse” viruses which could turn your computer into a spam transmitter without your knowledge.
Organizations like Spamhaus don’t actually stop spammers from transmitting spam, but act as an intermediaries between senders and receivers. Spamhaus tags emails transmitted from certain Internet sources as “spam” and receivers (ISPs) who subscribe to Spamhaus make the decision to block those emails from their systems, trusting Spamhaus’ judgement in the identification of spam sources.
