[6bone] (OT but Relevant) Recent spammer tactics - BGP Hijacking

[Colin Faber]

Recently on the IPv4 internet there have been a small but growing number of cases
of BGP hijacking by spammers / spam gangs to get around black lists and filters.

Does/Is there anything in place with in the existing BGP+ protocol to prevent such
things from happening.

The reason I ask is simple.  As the roll out of the v6 network continues you can
guarantee that spammers will move to the v6 network following the rest of the
E?SMTP's out there.
