Re: [Declude.JunkMail] A slight increase in spam not getting caught thanks to Network Solutions

Good call Keith.  I don't know what the proper address would be, but the following article says that it can be blocked:     http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/030915/internet_typos_1.html If you were correct, you would probably have to do this in your DNS server.  Maybe set up reverse DNS for that block.  I'm not sure though.  Scott could probably also filter it out with Declude. It's not active yet from where I'm sitting (resolving off my own DNS server).  I'll bet $100 that this move does not last.  Network Solutions is one of the shadiest companies that I have ever dealt with (MCI has top honors).  I resell Tucows now just so I don't have to deal with them...not for the money.  They held up the whole transition to de-monopolize the popular domains, and I have no clue as to how they got away with that, but it was held up for 1 or 2 years.  Now they are hurting bad for business, losing customers left and right to bargain registrars...and then they pull this scam.  They ought to charge them a fee for each possible letter and number combination if you ask me.  It's like taking over the airwaves and stealing every available frequency range that isn't licensed.  That's real freaky stuff.  Same goes for Microsoft's default settings by way of their de facto monopoly in the browser market, but that's another story.

(I'm still learning... sorry if this is a stupid question.) NS is going to make a lot of enemies doing this. Just so people are aware, Network Solutions just hours ago made the dumb move of making all unregistered domains point to their web site. As a result, very little E-mail will fail the MAILFROM test in Declude JunkMail
