How do the Internet services providers (ISPs) in Hong Kong react on the issue of email spamming ?
Almost all ISPs operating in Hong Kong have included in their service agreements provisions to prohibit users from abusing their services for the purpose of email spamming. Spammers will face warnings or even suspension or termination of services with forewarnings. Furthermore, ISPs commonly adopt technical measures to combat spamming problem. For example, their email servers may refuse the transmission of emails not composed by the sender (such as rejecting to forward an email received by the subscriber to the third party); or they may maintain a blacklist of email servers (i.e. reject to take in emails sent from blacklisted servers); or they may limit the quantity of emails sent from prepaid accounts.
