Slashdot picked up a securityfocus link from Neil Krawetz - a survey of the current spam/anti-spam situation.
Part 1: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1763 Part 2: http://securityfocus.com/infocus/1766 Sorry if this has made the rounds earlier, but since this list seems to have a good number of interested parties, I figured I'd pass it along. I think the most interesting point is that, while a good background of the problem and proposed solutions is given, it seems there really is no good answer currently. The author does make mention of Sender Permitted From (http://spf.pobox.com/), which was recently mentioned to me by a co-worker and is the solution I've been looking into most lately. It's in the reverse-lookup (e.g. from rather than to MX) family of solutions and seems like it would solve some (but not close to all) spam issues. Any opinions from the list on where this field/problem is going? Will it continue (as in the rest of the field of security) to be an arms race? Will the bad guys continue to spend pennies to harass us while the good guys dump buckets of cash on incomplete solutions? Sorry, nothing practical here, just late night blabbering. Anyhoo, I'll finally be in OR for a Thursday so I should see you guys next week. Jason __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
