The Spam Prevention Early Warning System (SPEWS) was an anonymous, volunteer-operated service that maintained a list of IP address ranges belonging to internet service providers (ISPs) which host spammers and show little action to prevent their abuse of other networks' resources. It could have been used by Internet sites as an additional source of information about the senders of unsolicited bulk email traffic, commonly known as spam.[1][2]
The SPEWS database has not been updated since August 24, 2006. The dnsbl.com resource lists its status as dead.[3] A successor, the Anonymous Postmaster Early Warning System (APEWS), appeared in January 2007,[4] using similar listing criteria and a nearly identical web page.
