More info on that 24x7 spam host that was connected through AT&T --
it's dead.

John, the network admin at Fast Internet Service (fastinet.net) where
the box is located, said he would pull the plug on it too -- so I
don't know which one got to it first.  Interestingly enough
fastinet.net is still doing DNS for them:

   DNS1.FASTINET.NET            209.239.96.4
   DNS2.FASTINET.NET            209.239.96.7

(oh, how excellent -- primary and secondary DNS on the same subnet
makes zone transfers so fast!)

I need to start painting rows of little symbols on the side of my
monitor for spammer kills -- as soon as I can decide on a symbol.
