This will cause serious problems for email infrastructures as it is impractical to block domain names from large ISPs. Linford predicts that ISPs will see a growth in the volume of bulk mail they send and receive over the next two months, with spam levels rising from75 percent of all email to around 95 percent within a year.
"The email infrastructure is beginning to fail," Linford warned. "You'll see huge delays in email and servers collapsing. It's the beginning of the email meltdown."
Linford said that ISPs need to act fast to take control of the problem. "They've got to throttle the number of emails coming from ADSL accounts. They are going to have to act quickly to clean incoming viruses. ISPs have so much spam -- they are too understaffed to call people up and tell them they have Trojans on their machines. And no one would know what you're talking about."
