Here's an idea I'm working on. Wondering if anyone else is interested in
participating.
As you all know there are a lot of SMTP servers (inbound) where there is o
authentication option. And we all know that there are lots of hackers and
hack viruses that work on authenticated smtp servers looking for weak
passwords so they can authenticate and send spam.
Suppose we reconfigured servers with no authentication configuration to
advertise that they take authentication and that you have a fake
authenticator that accepts any password.
thats easy to do, and a blackhole router prevents them from actual doing
harm on the internet.
The used auth credentionals can be saved and blacklisted on your server
farm.
Of course this server should be standalone, so no real world issues can
interfere.
I like the idea, and it's so simple to archive.
