Hi List rescam.org made it to the swiss national tv news lately.
Generally I like the idea of wasting the time of scamers and spamers. The goal is reached when the scamer can not distinguish between real and bot answers and wastes most of his time talking to bots. I have been trying out the service and did forward a couple of scam mails to their scam input address. According to their FAQ I should get some feedback by email on how the scam mail was processed. I haven't got any feedback yet, even after a couple of days. Their FAQ is not clear on what format you have to forward the emails. I assume full text/rfc822 MIME Part attachment, so the original email is preserved and can be fully processed including headers. But most email user won't know how to do that, but rather just forward the email in some sort of in line fashion generated by their mail client. Would that still work? Also their website is in English only. So what use is it to forward German language scam mails I am asking myself? Do they have multi lingual bots? Did anyone observe their bots do indeed answer scam mails? Or is rescam.org itself just a scam to harvest email addresses or similar? -Benoît Panizzon- -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
