Dear all, first of all, sorry because of writting in English but although I work in Hanover, my German is not yet as good as my English.
Secondly, I am sorry if someone thinks that this e-mail does not fit here but
as I am doing research with Spamassassin in Germany I found it really
interesting.
After all my apologizes, I would like to introduce the reason of my e-mail.
I am a Ph.D. student that works in the L3S Research Institute and Hanover
University. I saw your contributions to the spamassassin community and as I
am doing some research on that area I would like to ask you for help.
I am currently studying the distribution of spam mails and e-mail addresses.
For that I am gathering some information from e-mail distributions of some
RRZZ of German universities and also individuals. I developed a script that
gathers the information from auto-whitelists and, because of privacy issues,
hash the e-mail addresses. Therefore I just get the distribution of the
auto-whitelist but there is not problem with users privacy as the e-mails are
not available.
The information I get is how many e-mails were sent and which is the average
score. With this information I get the distribution of for example how much
spam that university receives.
I would like to ask you if it would be possible that you provide me with that
information from your university. I attach the script which takes only some
seconds. It is in perl so it is really easy to see what it does so you could
check that it does exactly what I say and no security would be compromised.
It will create too files. one with the e-mail addresses in plain text and
another one with them hashed. I am interested in the hashed one.
I have received this information from some universities like Hannover,
Karlsruhe, Kassel or Braunchweig and I must say that it is quite interesting.
Of course, I would keep you informed of the results I gather from that
information so you would know about it.
I would like to thank you for your attention and hopefully your help too.
Best regards,
DOC
