Hotmail spam 12/29/2003 11:46 PM
What's going on with hotmail? I used to get a couple dozen spam messages a day on my hotmail account, but now all of a sudden I have only 2 spam messages over a three day timespan. Since my account is setup to not delete spam but move it to the junk folder first, this must mean either hotmail has... (85 words)

Hotmail gets SPiFfy

Hotmail gets SPiFfy 07/23/2004 03:09 PM

OK, so I'm stretching for a clever title there. But the good news is that Microsoft has now joined AOL, Earthlink, and other large email providers by publishing Sender Policy Framework records for all their e-mail addresses, and are using SPF validation to scrutinize inbound mail.

The company is strongly urging e-mail providers and Internet service providers (ISPs) to publish Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records that identify their e-mail servers in the domain name system (DNS) by mid-September. Microsoft will begin matching the source of inbound e-mail to the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of e-mail servers listed in that sending domain's SPF record by Oct. 1. Messages that fail the check will not be rejected, but will be further scrutinized and filtered, said Craig Spiezle, director of Microsoft's Safety Technology and Strategy Group.

Basically it works like this: If I'm joe@example.com and bob@aol.com sends me an email, the example.com server will receive a request from an aol.com server to send a message. The example.com server then checks to see if the contacting server is listed with an SPF record in the aol.com DNS. If it is, then I know the mail is really from AOL. If it's not, then I know it's a spoof. This doesn't stop spam, but it at least makes servers truly accountable for spam, so the griping goes to the right place, and blacklists can be more accurate.

I just don't get it I catch another angled story today about how Hotmail is going to be re-vamped and with storage improvements will be offering some expanded service. Reading the Microsoft press release their isn't that much substance to it. Just appears to be a lot more of the same. Time will tell but excitement in a post from a Micr osoft employee I guess we will have to sit back and watch.

Microsoft has rolled out the first of its initiatives to fend off recent competition from rival e-mail services, offering Hotmail users free antivirus protection. "By using MSN Hotmail, you have the only free global e-mail service to both scan and clean incoming and outgoing e-mail for viruses and worms," Microsoft wrote to customers. The company will announce additional Hotmail upgrades in the coming weeks, including increased e-mail storage as a response to moves by Yahoo! and Google.

Downloading your hotmail inbox

Downloading your hotmail inbox 12/02/2003 12:40 AM

Adrian just pointed me to a fantastic tool: Gotmail, a utility to download mail from Hotmail accounts. It's a command line utitlity, written in Perl and making use of the curl binary, which can connect to Hotmail over the web and grab any new emails, saving them locally as an mbox file and deleting them from the Hotmail server.

Naturally, anything like this is completely dependent on Hotmail's design staying the same and maintaining the tool is a constant arms race. At the moment, Hotmail is ahead - a recent upgrade to the Hotmail design (some time in the last few days) has rendered Gotmail useless. A call for help on the Gotmail mailing list from the lead developer makes particularly interesting reading. He's looking for developers and users who can help with the debugging effort required to get the tool working again, but the last paragraph of the email really caught my attention:

Developers: If you have some Python proficiency, and would like to assist in developing the next generation of Gotmail (development name: gotfemail), email me off-list. I have some pretty ambitious plans for this project, and depending on how much is actually implemented, Hotmail breakages should be either self-fixing or very simple to fix. I've done some work on making a generic library for this sort of job (so the fetchyahoo people and others might be interested), and some preliminary work on embedding the Javascript interpreter from the Mozilla project.

A self-fixing screen scraper sounds like one heck of an interesting project, and I can't complain about the choice of development language either ;) If you're a Python hacker looking for a new project this could be well worth checking out.
