e360 Insight’s CEO Dave Linhardt says that he has served subpoenas to at least 17 companies in his court battle against anti-spam blacklisting service Spamhaus.
Linhardt aims to uncover the sources of Spamhaus’s funding and to force it to abide by the $11.7 million default judgment leveled against the company in September, writes Direct Magazine. Spamhaus has said that it is unnecessary for it to abide by the ruling, claiming that U.S. courts have no jurisdiction over it.
Linhardt’s subpoenas have apparently gone to service providers which he believes subscribe to Spamhaus’s data feed. Those providers include Earthlink, Adelphia Communications, Charter Communications, Cox Communications and Cincinnati Bell.
Linhardt also claims that he has served subpoenas to Critical Path, which he says hosts Spamhaus’s site in San Francisco, as well as Return Path. Return Path has verified that it has received a subpoena for copies of all email communications between Return Path and Spam Haus. Return Path doesn’t pay Spamhaus for its data feed, so the emails are unlikely to contain the type of info Linhardt is seeking, said George bilbrey, vp and general manager of Return Path.
