Postini: Half of all e-mail requests
rejected
07/08/2004 09:09 AM
Antispam company Postini Inc. said that it is now rejecting more than half of all attempts to send e-mail to its customers, due in part to increased activity from compromised home computers that have been turned into "zombies" for sending unsolicited commercial ("spam") e-mail. The company is dropping 53 percent of all e-mail connections that use the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) without reading the content of the e-mail messages. That's an almost 20 percent increase since the company began aggregating information about troublesome Internet addresses from across its customer base, said Andrew Lochart, director of product marketing at Postini.

More on UI requests


More on UI requests 12/10/2003 04:35 AM

Larry O'Brien says "It is a mistake for UI designers to heed debates such as going on in Scoble's comments on UI requests for Longhorn."

Oh, don't worry, I doubt the Aero team will listen to me. But, my goal wasn't really to get the Aero team to listen to me anyway. It was to get the market to think about what they'd like to see in Longhorn. Goal achieved!

My coworkers were chiding me during the day, though. Everyone has an opinion about settings in Windows.

Mail.app, mutt, mail volume, and e-mail
addiction
04/23/2004 08:25 PM
Since I've been using the Powerbook (which I still need to replace with a newer one now that the "speed bump" is official), I've drastically changed my e-mail habits (personal mail, not work mail). In doing so, I wonder if I'm unusual in this respect. Previously, I was using mutt for e-mail on my IBM Thinkpad running Linux. If you've not tried it, mutt is really the king of all console-based mail programs. It excels at making it very easy...

DMA requests no SPAM or telemarketing on
national Day of Mourning
06/10/2004 01:06 PM
The Direct Marketing Association (The DMA) today called on its members to refrain from making marketing calls and sending commercial e-mails to consumers on June 11, 2004, which has been designated as a National Day of Mourning in memory of President Ronald Reagan. “We are calling on marketers to consider the mood of the country on this day of national mourning,” said H. Robert Wientzen, president & CEO, The DMA. “Indeed, many member companies have already indicated to us that they plan to refrain from calling or sending commercial e-mail on that day. Businesses should keep in mind the thoughts of consumers and the reputation of the industry.” “If members do conduct a campaign, they should do so with the utmost caution and respect on this solemn day of remembrance,” said Wientzen.

Most of the others can be handled similarly, but this article might just be a better way.
