    I heard some people opine that GeoCities is doing a lot to combat
    spam.
    I received a recent spam about "financing of residence" that sent me
    to a Geocities page.
    Just how difficult would it be to block similar kinds of pages?
    Not too difficult if they wanted to. So, I am not sure if they are
    really trying to stay on top of the game.

    similar to what? Ther eare so many different spams, and when you stop
    some, new hydra-spams get born.

    This has been hashed to death heare and elsewhere (and will certainly
    get rehashed every now and then:).
    - whether it's easy for yahoo to stop this or not is debatable. you and
    I have a lot of ideas, but (at least) mine were never tested in such
    large environments, and I know that untested ideas are just ideas.
    - just because a site have a js redirection or whatever attribute
    doesn't mean they have to shut it down (we are not trashing any mail
    that matches any SA rule, are we? if things are complex with SA, why
    would you want things to be easier on the web?). I have rarely seen any
    good surprise from any ISP I've seen. In the contrary, I only seen N
    hours debugging just to prove that it was coming from the ISP. now I
    also worked for companies that sold sw to ISPs, and except for very few
    good people, things are worst.
    - if you don't get much legit mail with geocities links, just add rules
    to block them.
    - yahoo have a legal issue to solve. Their sales guys get as much
    customers as they can, and you're asking their tech guys to stop
    spammers? This can't work.
