Anti-Spam Domain Could Be Suspended

London, England (AHN) - A U.S. court has filed an order to possibly suspend the Web site of UK-based anti-spam organization Spamhaus.

The firm was charged to be in contempt of court by refusing to pay $11.7 million as compensation to an email marketing company and omitting the company's name from its blacklist.

District judge Charles P Kocoras proposed that Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) suspend the domain name spamhaus.org, "until such time as [the] defendant [Spamhaus] demonstrates to this Court why [it] should not be held in contempt for its failure to comply".

Spamhaus is a company that maintains a blacklist of spammers' IP addresses.

e360 Insight LLC, an opt-in mass-mailing firm, was awarded $11.7 million compensation after winning a court battle against Spamhaus when it was included in its blacklist.
