Cyber Promotions loses its most recent battle in the war over junk email, but its president, Sanford Wallace, vows to press on.
The bulk emailer lost its backbone service last night, just hours after the expiration of a court order requiring his provider, AGIS, to reconnect him to the Internet, both sides confirmed. Nonetheless, Wallace claimed, it's still largely business as usual.
"We're completely set up on the spam side, but we don't have a Web site host," Wallace told CNET's NEWS.COM. He explained that he has been able to patch together a number of "bandwidth partners" that are willing to send out spam. "As we speak we are sending email."
While the company may still be sending email, antispammers are sure to continue their fight by tracking down and confronting Wallace's "partners." They have, in the past, succeeded in getting Cyber Promotions kicked off of several services.
