Sorry, just getting around to reading my 700 or so unread messages. 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.

I always figured since my hotmail profile says I'm male and over 21 that's
why it gets about 160 spam mails (that don't fail their spam filters) per
week.  Don't they do the same thing Juno mail does and pay for the service
by selling the address to 'Advertising Partners'? My 17 year old sister in
law get no adult spam to her hotmail address at all, and 99% of mine is,
that says target marketing to me.  I only have the address as a remote test

else... but there's a definite 'color' to the content - meaning the spam
we get there is skewed to a specifi strange attractor - all based on the
marketing.

I'm working on formulating a methodology for setting up spamtraps and

I always thought it would make a lot of sense to have an Internal
SpamCop address.  

An address that we can use in Declude so any e-mail that is sent to that
address is automatically added to a blacklist address for background
deletion.

If such addresses is then easily advertised on a couple of sites that
are willing to give you a million dollars or add to your anatomical
parts then effectively we can have a preemptive notice easily.  Since
the address is not used elsewhere there is no way a legitimate email
comes to it.

This can be a very fast and almost no CPU processing system  be called
SPAMTrap

This is something that we have been considering.

A couple of thoughts, though:

[1] What do you blacklist?  I think that only the IP address of the sender 
could be safely blacklisted.

[2] What happens if someone finds the address and uses it maliciously?

[3] The spammer may have already sent a lot of spam before they send to 
this address.

2002-09-17 Thread Madscientist

The problem with this is that once you subscribe it to anything you've
muddied the waters a bit about whether content to that address is spam
or not. If your specific use is such that you don't discriminate then
you've got a reasonable solution... but for truly pure spam, you need to
find ways for the spammers to pick you up - in their typical ways - but
without your prompting. That takes time and effort - and occasionally
luck. The luckiest you can get is for a dictionary search to hit your
spam trap and pump it into one of the millions CDs... Once that
happens a few times you'll start getting good traffic that was truly
never solicited. Another lucky method is to have the address picked off
of a web page when some spammer is trolling...

KR They can only send email to it and to an address where they have no
KR business of sending.

If you block based on email then your bound to even if you only do
24 hour blocks block hotmail, yahoo, netscape and eudoramail
constantly because a lot of spammers spoof those addresses.
So not a sound approach there.

KR [3] The spammer may have already sent a lot of spam before they send to
KR this address.

KR --- TRUE but a great chance also exists that it is the beginning of the
KR list or the middle.  What I see in the addresses that are sent they
KR typically are alphabetically sorted.  So may be an address like
KR AADoe@... Would put it on top of the list.  But regardless it is a first
KR attempt.  If nothing is gained, I feel nothing is lost either but if it
KR is used in their SPAM list then we have gained a lot.  I just can't see
KR us losing anything.  In the game of Pros  Cons our loss is a lot less

Yes you would have to make sure it's among the first possible hits.

lot of work to get it listed, but I know there are only two ways to pay for
a service, you pay or the advertisers pay.

Gosh I'd like to know how he made that account and got it spammed so
quickly. That knowledge would be quite a tool.

By this:

| A few days ago I created a new e-mail account, and within 24
| hours I had received over 25 unsolicited commercial e-mail
| messages, otherwise known as spam.

He means A few days ago I created an account on Hotmail that had once
existed, but since I just created it, it's a new E-mail account.

Unless he was extremely active in trying to receive spam, I can't think of
any other way that it could have happened.  Or, he may have used his
poetic license to count the number of spams he received.
