ISP Partner Programs
ISPs are very important to MAPS and are a primary partner in our mission to defend the Internet from spam. ISPs are the first line of defense in stopping spam from leaving their networks, as well as rejecting spam from entering their networks. We have developed a program to encourage ISPS to work with us to identify and shutdown compromised areas of their networks. See the section on the Alliance for Spam Free Networks (ASFN) for details on the benefits we offer our ISP partners.

In addition to joining the ASFN, ISP Partners may also be interested in joining one of our Channel Partner programs and realize additional financial benefits. Only by working together can we stop spam completely.
