They already have, McColo are now coming back up on retn.net (AKA
Eltel, the old timers will remember that name, a very dirty Russian
network well known for hosting spammers and malware).

Which is a pity, as spam volumes dropped by 30% after McColo went off
the net late Tuesday as vast amounts of bots could no longer contact
their control boxes on McColo IPs and whole botnets went dark. Eltel
(retn.net) will be reactivating the McColo IPs anytime now allowing
the botnets to contact their masters and the spam will flow again.

Spamhaus is preparing to SBL Eltel (retn.net) as soon as we have
confirmation that they have brought McColo’s botnet control machines
back on line.
