The report explains 'snowshoe' spamming, a spam distribution technique that places sending across many static IP ranges and rotating domains to evade filters and enforcement; operators use tunneled spam spigots, image-only messages and rapid replacement of blocked IP space, and this technique accounted for a significant portion (~20–30%) of gTLD mailserver connections in the 2008–2009 period, creating enforcement challenges for ISPs.
