Asking Mail Servers About Spam?

Asking Mail Servers About Spam? 11/25/2002 10:11 AM
Asking Mail Servers About Spam? I see that Dave's looking for this: A feature for a mail server? What if every mail server supported a new feature.An XML-RPC interface with one entry point. It takes one parameter, a user name and returns a struct containing a boolean. The boolean is true if there is such a user on that machine. It's a struct so more info can be returned later.My email program could send a message to the server each piece of mail came from. Hey you got someone with this name, and do they send out spam? If the answer is no, filter it to the bit bucket.Maybe I'm missing something or it's too early in the morning, but couldn't we ask the servers if they know about this person sending me the spam. I have a feeling that most of the spam I get comes from made-up people. [ Go ] This actually exists already in the SMTP / POP3 spec although it isn't XML-RPC'd of course. One approach to do this is to simulate an SMTP session to the server and then use the RCPT TO smtp command to see if the mail server will accept email for this user. Please note that this idea isn't mine, I got it from Mastering PHP 4.1 which is a pretty kicking book (and where I pretty much stole this sentence from). [ Code ] I don't think that implementing this is all that hard and an XML-RPC interface could be wrapped around it easily enough. It is a damn intriguing idea and one that would be easy enough to implement in a webmail client. One problem with it though is that a lot of email address names aren't true accounts but contain metadata for bounce processing i.e. 23232 @ company.com is generally handled by a bounce routine so any replies to it trigger unsubscribe or something else. Note: This isn't really a problem since if there isn't an account then it's probably spam but it would blow up a lot of list serve like processes. Also there isn't anything to stop spammers from setting up their own mail servers. What it would address is header forging which is a huge problem.

Nope, looks like they're used for blog spam now too. At least it looks that way from my MT logs, as I look at all the stuff that MT-Blacklist has blocked. (Mmmmm, MT-blacklist goodness. Regardless of whatever happens with MT 3.x's license, code, or fortune cookies, there's no way in hell I'm switching from the MT2.661 setup I have now if there's no blacklist equivalent for it) Dunno whether they're generic web proxies, or blog-spam-specific things. Since the wave hit more than a week ago it's tough to tell for sure, since dynamic IP addresses for dialup machines and whatnot'll...

Spam now two thirds of all e-mail

Spam now two thirds of all e-mail 05/28/2004 01:50 AM
?There is no sign of relief for companies already overwhelmed by the sheer volume of unsolicited and unwanted e-mail messages clogging their mail systems. E-mail security firm MessageLabs? filtering statistics for April, which were published on Monday, show that 67.6 percent of all global e-mail traffic is spam. MessageLabs said it scanned 840 million e-mail messages in April and found that 97 percent of spam is aimed at five countries: the United States, the U.K., Germany, Australia and Hong Kong. The United States has the worst problem, with 83 percent of messages being classified as spam, while in the U.K. that figure stands at 53 percent.?

Address harvesting robots trawl the ‘net relentlessly, looking for anything that resembles an e-mail address. When they find an address, it is added to spam mailing lists and sold to all of those people who like to send you e-mail about your mortgage and your sex life.

But you still need to have a way to have visitors to your site contact you.
