Dear all,
I am a researcher at TU Delft in the Netherlands, looking into Security &
Protocol Adoption.
My student Olamide is looking into how well email setups are maintained around
the globe.
For this, we need many people, ideally from smaller providers, i.e., with non
gmail/hotmail/yahoo addresses, to send us emails.
Please consider participating in this study, and sharing it in your networks.
To help us, please follow the instructions at:
https://www.email-security-scans.org/
Important caveat: If your mailer validates recipient addresses before accepting
mails, you might be unable to send to destination addresses that are (a) only
resolvable via IPv6 only, or (b) Have broken DNSSEC, which we use to test
DNSSEC validation. If this is the case, please just remove the 1-3 offending
addresses from the To: header. Please also note that our test setups will test
whether the host delivering mails to us is an open relay. Also note that you
may receive bounces from your mailserver for some of the destination addresses,
e.g., if mails can not be delivered via IPv6, or if your mail-setup validates
DANE records for our DANE test domain. We do _not_ need a copy of those bounces.
In case you want to get results for a domain you operate or use early, please
just drop me an email from the same domain and delivering servers after you
participated, and I will share the data with you. :-)
