Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Fighting the Menace of Unwanted E-Mail
Craig, I have two paid hotmail accounts. The one for my 5-year old daughter (it's really a test account for spam-filtering) did not get checked. My other account for Elmer Fudd strangely had a birthyear of 1900 and they were checked. I thought that when I set these up I said no sharing. Does anyone know how old these boxes are? You all might enjoy playing our new anti-s*pam game (see sig). Just launced today. Alexis --- Alexis D.

Anyone notice Hotmail put in a few new options a while ago and enabled them for everyone? Click on the options link and choose Personal Profile and scoll to the bottom. You will notice that the two options to 1) Share my email address and 2) Share my other registration information are checked.

[Declude.JunkMail] Querying DNS MX records?
Are DNS MX records queryable? Could I query one and get a list of valid email addresses on that server? Is there a version that might be? A bug? An pre-patched version? A as-installed implementation that would have this as a possible result? Have you ever seen this work? No, I don't want to do it; I'm just trying to get to the bottom of something.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SPARKList ?
Title: Message Sparklist was sold to Lyris in early August. The IPs have changed to the Lyris ones. Sparklist always had excellent procedures in place to make sure they weren't being used by any opt-out mailers. They actually ran all new subscriber lists through filters to see if they matched up with any commercially available CDs of email addresses (that would indicate the senders were spammers). Unfortunately, their lists were hacked/stolen in early August: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/12/technology/12MAIL.html Regards, Alexis---Alexis D.

Hi; Problem! the Sparklist appears to be used by a large number of organizations out there to send their newsletter. It is almost impossible to WHITELIST a newsletter since the address changes daily. Look at this which is the eNewsletter by Cato Institute. The Nation also uses the same list and it is the same situation: This address is for today.. [EMAIL PROTECTED] it used to be... [EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems like in the absence of a wildcard we have to WhiteList the entire sparklist.com or add a negative weight to it. Any other ideas?
