AOL, Spammers, and Mail Forwarding







AOL, Spammers, and Mail Forwarding

AOL, Spammers, and Mail Forwarding 03/31/2005 05:43 PM

Here's an interesting situation with a host I use. AOL is getting confused as to the actual source of email marked as spam, and mail forwarding servers are getting dinged as a result.

[...] some customers have content filter rules to send all mail for their domain or for their mailbox to @aol.com addresses. These customers then go into their @aol.com accounts and read their mail and mark messages as spam. When these customers mark messages as spam, AOL now has counters in place that record the mail server it came from.

Therefore, in order to meet the guidelines and thresholds imposed by AOL, we will soon be shutting off the ability to forward emails to @aol.com addresses.

Crappy situation, but I can see why they have no choice but to shut off forwarding.

So, about Jenson's Cocoa license issue. It's not perfectly clear to me, but there's no license on Cocoa per se other than any Cocoa specific agreement you might assent to when agreeing to the Apple Developer Tools license (and there or may not be anything Cocoa-related in there, I haven't checked lately). Broadly, Apple can't revoke your right to use or link to Cocoa in your applications unless you violate some agreement. If the Developer Tools license agreement says nothing about your specific use of the tools and/or Cocoa, then you can't be held liable for doing something you didn't know and agree to knowing was not allowed.

Of course, IANAL, so I'm chasing this up, but I do work with a lot of intellectual property lawyers, and this is the general interpretation I get. Note that this is entirely different from agreeing to a license and then to have the licensor find you to be violating it, as was the case with Apple's iTunes SDK and iCommune a while back.

04/05/2005 02:15 PM
While the story linked here is mostly about yet another overhyped prediction saying that TiVo-like DVR devices are "a threat to commercial advertising," there are two interesting points that seem obvious -- but haven't gotten much attention in these debates. The first is that, while everyone figures out how to fast forward through commercials, some people apparently forget until a bad commercial comes on. In other words, they're fine watching a commercial that seems interesting, amusing or relevant -- but when the bad commercials come on, they realize they are wasting their time. The second point is that users of DVR's, while fast forwarding through commercials do tend to be paying close attention to what's on the TV, looking for "heavily branded screenshots" that indicate it's time to stop fast-forwarding. While this idea has been taken and tweaked to lead to TiVo' s popup ads during commercials, it does make you wonder if advertisers will start designing more TiVo-friendly commercials which would be heavily branded, even for people fast forwarding through. It might also mean that some TV shows could try a branded intro shot, with a statement along the lines of "Stop fast forwarding NOW!" which could also be sponsored by various brands -- though, that could annoy non-DVR using watchers.

The Man Behind The Bill Gates Email
Forwarding Hoax


The Man Behind The Bill Gates Email
Forwarding Hoax
06/29/2004 02:15 PM
Over the years, there have been plenty of different variants on the chain letter urban legend saying that Bill Gates will give you cash for forwarding on the email. A reporter at Wired Magazine began to wonder just how these hoax emails got started. While most of the article goes through how people get suckered into passing on chain letters all the time (and what their reasoning is), he eventually (towards the end of the article) tracks down the guy who started the very first "Bill Gates will give you money for forwarding this email" email. The guy started it as a joke, and never ever expected it to get as far as it did. When it first took off at a ridiculous rate he got scared that he would get in trouble for fraud -- but he's been mostly erased by history. Most of the emails were quickly modified to remove his name (which brings up completely different questions...). When asked why he didn't want to claim "credit" for one of the longest-living, constantly mutating hoaxes, he responds with what the author calls "one of the greatest social critiques of our age": "I didn't really think of that. It's just a hoax. And if I admitted to it, why would anyone believe me?"

It looks like the various spam laws that help legalize spam are making the spammers extra litigious. Following a lawsuit in the US by a spammer against an anti-spam operation for still block their email, some spammers in the UK are threatening Spamhaus with lawsuits for still having them on their blacklist. The problem is that, just because the law now gives them the permission to spam, it doesn't mean people aren't allowed to make their own private efforts to block them. The laws may allow them to send their spam, but there's nothing in these laws that require people to receive it.

It's really quite impressive how many other businesses spam has generated.

Return Path has a bunch of email accounts at major ISPs and signed up for various spam blocking services. They also monitor all the various blacklists - and will alert you (if you're a big company and you pay them money) if your emails are getting stopped by a spam blocker. They'll also tell you why and make suggestions on how to de-spamify your email. Anyone else think things are getting even more ridiculous when you have to pay a company to make sure your perfectly legitimate email isn't being blocked?

02/10/2004 02:45 AM

Has anyone else noticed that now that the Can-Spam Act passed by the federal government has gone into effect, spam via email is actually worse than it was?

This is ridiculous. In the past week I've received at least 4-5 times more spam than I did in a week last year...

I'd like to install a server-side spam filtering system that's compatible with qmail, but I don't have the time or knowledge to actually get it installed... especially since I've been considering buying a Handspring Treo 600 to check my email more regularly...

Although, I wonder if I'm getting more spam because of the social networks I've joined in the past couple of weeks? Hmmm... I'm going to change those email addresses now...

Anyone want to install a server side spam filter system for me on the cheap?

Spam email CD contents analyzed


Spam email CD contents analyzed 01/02/2004 02:35 PM
A fascinating analysis of the contents of a "millions of email addresses" CDROM acquired via a spam-advertisement:
You can find a number of addresses you don't want to send spam to. The spammer didn't even remove the abuse@ and postmaster@ addresses, 175 and 561 respectively. Both of them have doubles themselves. These role accounts include respectable providers that have a widely known anti-spam policy: the abuse desk of XS4ALL appears 5 times, the abuse desk of Planet three times and their postmasters will receive the spam three times each.

Role accounts not only encompass abuse desks or Network Operation Centers, but also operational accounts like 'hostmaster' and 'postmaster', who have to deal with requests from customers and feedback from key institutions like ARIN and RIPE or domain registrars. Spamming those accounts has several drawbacks for a spammer, their spam is most definitely not wanted by the recipient. It isn't too farfetched to state that online businesses (that mostly have to rely on e-mail for direct customer contact) might be facing increasing difficulties coping with the loss incurred by spam, both technically and financially.

You get all the email you can handle -
and all the spam you deserve


You get all the email you can handle -
and all the spam you deserve
01/16/2004 11:03 AM
Janka speaks of spam, everyones' favourite subject. I got 4700 filtered spam messages in six weeks (and a bunch that got through). On one account. More on others, to a perhaps of 6000-7000 messages total. That's about a thousand a week, or 150/day.

There's a theory that everyone gets the amount of spam they deserve. There's also a theory that suggests that if you stop receiving spam, you don't exist any more. Or that if you read aloud all the spam you receive for a year and a day, you will be granted three wishes by the Xanax fairy. I believe that one of them must have something to do with the size of your penis, though.

Whatever the case, it has been suggested that everyone always gets more email than what they can handle - I've heard people complain that "I got FOUR emails today - I'm swamped". I get perhaps fifty legitimate emails on the average (not counting mailing lists), and I think that's about the limit I can handle. Is there anyone out there who thinks they are getting too few emails?

I've had my primary email address for many years, and I also get email through a number of work-related aliases, including editors at newsforge.com, roblimo at slashdot.org, and rmiller at osdn.com. So I get spam. Tons of spam. And I filter it all. I filter viruses, too, not because they can affect my Linux computer, but because they suck up bandwidth. And my virus email traffic now exceeds my spam traffic by a factor of at least two to one.
