Book of Jobs

Book of Jobs 06/17/2005 04:50 PM
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. "

Steve Jobs' recent commencement speech is really worth reading in full. It gets about as close to the bone, and the truth, as we could expect from a technology CEO, or anyone else.

I find it very hard to reconcile the awareness contained in these words with the reality of the executive pettiness that Jobs' Apple keeps displaying (suing bloggers, banning publishers from its stores, and so on). But then smart and creative people are inevitably complicated, and the more successful they are, the less pressure there is on them to resolve those complications.

Junior Jobs

Junior Jobs 09/02/2004 12:19 PM

(No, this isn't a duplicate of the previous story — different sort of Jobs).

The KDE project has come up with a neat way to get new developers interested in contributing to KDE: Junior Jobs. The problem with starting to contribute to a big project like KDE is that the code is so large and confusing, a new developer won't know how or where to begin

So the KDE developers are marking certain 'easy' feature requests as 'Junior Jobs', and including some hints, so that those problems could be picked up by a developer who's never written any code for the project.

As Christian puts it: "I started to mark some bugs as JJ some months ago. Now I already received three high-quality patches from two different people (Thanks Sergio and Dermot!) for those reports. That's much more than I expected."

With some success under their belts, it's likely that a Junior Jobs programmer will go on to contribute more to the project. Neat idea.

Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go?

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

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.

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.

Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search?

Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search? 01/17/2004 10:47 PM
The big discussion that I've been having with a few different people over the last few weeks is whether or not Google would get into the email business - and, if so, how? To me, it seems like an obvious extension of their technology and business model - but not everyone agrees. However, the rumors are getting louder and louder that Google is developing an email product. The question is whether they'll be offering an entire "Google Email" system, or if they're just working on a version of their AdSense offering that would work within email (generating contextual ads based on the content of the email). Some people I've spoken to about it thought that people would freak out if they thought Google was reading their email to do its contextualization magic - which could be true. The question is how many people will freak out - and will plenty of others be more than willing to welcome the Google contextualization engine into their inbox, in exchange for the ability to actually "Google your email"? Many people always seem to want the ability to better search through their own email. I could see a certain willingness from many people to let Google place ads in their email in exchange for the ability to better search through all the email. If Google could figure out a good anti-spam solution, as well, it could be a real hit.

IIS binds to all IP addresses

IIS binds to all IP addresses 07/22/2004 03:01 AM

In a comment on a late post yesterday, Scott Fraer points to a Microsoft article that explains: "When you start Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, IIS binds to all IP addresses on the server, not just the IP addresses that are assigned to Web sites."

This, clearly, is the problem I'm encountering.

Now I'm running Windows 2000, and IIS 5.0, but the article says, midway down the page, that it has the same problem. A cure is suggested, but I have no idea how to implement.

So if you can illuminate, how do I get Win2K to let me use all the IP addresses on my machine? Any help would be much appreciated.
