For those of you who were deprived of this early childhood ritual, allow me to provide a bit of background. The song tells the tale of two men. The so-called "wise man" built his house on some sort of a rock, evidently a first-century precursor to modern concrete. Meanwhile, the "foolish man" was constructing his home on a foundation of sand. The song ends with each of these guys getting the results any grown-up would expect them to get. After all, if you're going to put your building on a bunch of sand, you should expect it to float away when the rains come.

U.K. to Build Wi-Fi Along Roads 04/09/2004 03:57 PM
The U.K.'s Highway Agency is planning to build a wireless network that covers major highways and urban centers throughout the country: The network sounds a bit like Metricom's but in this instance it will use Wi-Fi. The initial plan is to hang 150,000 access points on street lights and traffic lights. The Highway Agency will use the network to monitor cars and offer telematics applications about road conditions. But the network may also be offered to ISPs to service to anyone. This sounds like quite an ambitious and potentially expensive project for a government agency. If enough people can use the network for Internet access, perhaps those service could help pay off the network for the government....

Catchall Email Addresses

Catchall Email Addresses 08/17/2004 03:18 PM

Is there a point to "catchall" email addresses anymore? You know, those addresses where misaddessed email to your domain gets routed? Let me explain —

I was having some email trouble this morning. POP3 response from the server was sporadic, and when I got a command line on the box, things were very slow. I poked around a bit and found the problem.

I had not been checking and clearing the catchall account. It had been accumulating mail for about three weeks. It contained — are you sitting down? — 582,384 emails. Yep, just over half a million. I had to delete the entire account and bounce the Qmail process to get things running smoothly again. (The mere fact that it was running at all is a credit to RedHat 7.2 — a 1.1 GHz Athlon only goes so far...)

If 90% of email is spam (as it is in our office), then 99.9999999% of the email in a catchall account is going to be spam because 99% of inbound spam has an invalid address. This was proven to me when I created a script to empty the account once per hour. Here was the log file 15 minutes after I recreated the account:

8/17/2004 12:12:54 PM: Start Processing
8/17/2004 12:13:37 PM: 276 message(s) found
8/17/2004 12:13:37 PM: Deleting...
8/17/2004 12:13:38 PM: 0 message(s) found
8/17/2004 12:13:38 PM: End Processing

Almost 300 messages in 15 minutes. One hour later:

8/17/2004 1:11:00 PM: Start Processing
8/17/2004 1:13:29 PM: 1030 message(s) found
8/17/2004 1:13:29 PM: Deleting...
8/17/2004 1:13:30 PM: 0 message(s) found
8/17/2004 1:13:30 PM: End Processing

That's right — a thousand messages an hour are coming in misaddressed. That's one every four seconds.

Now, of those thousand, how many are legitimately misaddressed emails? I'd say a fraction — I think we probably get one legitimate misaddressed email every couple days, so one of every 75,000 or so messages is misaddressed. I don't care how good your spam filter is, you just can't process that much volume with any reasonably quality.

Why not just bounce them all, you say? Because we get bounces from our bounces. Some people have their mail servers configured to bounce Message Failure messages. So a spam comes in, can't find a mailbox, and bounces to the Reply-To on the message...which is — not surprisingly — fake, so about 10% of the time the message bounces back to the server administrator email account on our box. So, once again we have a bunch of bad emails accumulating somewhere.

I'd like to bounce them so that a legitimate sender at least knows that they misaddressed the email, however, I'd have to be able to change the Reply-To on the bounce so that the bounced bounces go somewhere we don't care about. Sadly, the server management software we're working with doesn't allow that.

I've abandoned the idea of a catchall account. There's just no way we can manage it effectively. Too bad.

I hate spammers.

Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go?

Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? 07/11/2004 10:58 AM

HTML entities for email addresses: don't
bother

HTML entities for email addresses: don't
bother 12/02/2003 12:41 AM

I've suspected this for a long time, and now here's the empirical evidence: Popular Spam Protection Technique Doesn't Work. If you're relying on HTML entities to protect your email address from spam harvesters - for example username@example.com - your email address may as well be in plain text. Chip Rosenthal downloaded a tool called "Web Data Extractor v4.0" and tried it on some test data to prove once and for all that the technique doesn't work.

My advice is to use your common sense when analysing a potential spam protection technique. If you were a spammer, would you be able to outwit the method? Spammers aren't always very smart, but the people who write spamming tools (and get paid big bucks for them) are. Also remember to think about the payoff - unencoding a bunch of entities is a cheap operation. Embedding a Javascript interpreter to decipher email addresses that are glued together using Javascript at the last possible moment is a lot harder and could slow down a tool, so it may not be worth the effort.

I'm still pretty confident in my own anti-spam harvester technique of hiding my email address behind a POST form, but even that could eventually be outsmarted by a really dedicated harvesting tool.

AOL Employee Arrested For Selling Email
Addresses To Spammers

AOL Employee Arrested For Selling Email
Addresses To Spammers 06/23/2004 07:00 PM
People have always claimed that AOL often gave out their email addresses to spammers, though many have questioned whether or not that was true. One that that's clear is they make it way too easy for employees of the company to access customer information. A few months ago we wrote about an AOL customer service rep who used the info she had access to in order to insinuate herself into the lives of celebrities who used AOL. The latest is that a 24-year-old engineer at the company has been arrested for selling a database of 92 million AOL user email addresses along with their phone numbers and zip codes. He sold this database to some spammers for about $50,000. How long until a class action suit is filed by AOL customers because the company didn't protect their info?

Schwarzenegger signs bill requiring
email addresses for filesharing

Schwarzenegger signs bill requiring
email addresses for filesharing 09/23/2004 11:15 AM
Xeni Jardin: California governor Arnold Schwarzenneger -- a man who found considerable fame and fortune in Hollywood -- signed an MPAA-backed bill into law Tuesday that requires anyone sharing a file that goes to more than 10 people outside their immediate family to provide a valid email address and title of the work.

California file sharers who trade songs or films without providing an e- mail address will be guilty of a misdemeanor, under the first-in-the-nation measure that could make it easier for law enforcement to track down people who illegally download copyrighted material. The bill is the latest attempt by film and music trade associations to combat the hard-to-police use of file-sharing software.

The signing was hailed by the bill's sponsor, the Motion Picture Association of America, whose president, Dan Glickman, noted in a statement that Schwarzenegger had "a unique understanding of the powerful impact of piracy.'' The governor remains a member of the Screen Actors Guild, which supported the bill.

Who Owns Your Email Address?

Who Owns Your Email Address? 05/19/2004 02:53 PM
While everyone is trying to figure out how to stop spam, a very interesting legal question is being raised: who actually owns your email address? Is it you? Is it whoever owns the domain name (assuming you don't own your own domain name)? Is it the internet as a whole? Since many lawsuits involving email seem to rely on property rights issues, this question may become more important over time - and it's unclear if there's a really good answer.

Outgoing Email Address Aliasing

Outgoing Email Address Aliasing 02/01/2005 09:08 PM

Here's a handy feature idea for an email client: outgoing email address aliasing. This means that whenever I send an email to "deane@workemail.com," that address is substituted with "deane@homeemail.com" as the email is sent.

I have someone who always sends me email at the wrong place. If I'm at home, he sends it to work. If I'm working, he sends it home. He tells me that he just replies to where I send the email from. But it doesn't matter where I send it from, I want all his emails to be sent to the same account.

Wouldn't it be nice if he could create email address substitution lists in his email client? He could list all my various email addresses as aliases of the single address I want all my email to go to. Then, as his client is sending the email, it substitutes all the aliases with the correct email address.

Does this seem like something that would provide value? Or am I way off in left field here?
