Encyclopedia article: Stopping e-mail abuse There are a number of services and software systems that mail sites and users can use to reduce the load of spam on their systems and mailboxes. Some mail administrators operate tarpits to impede spammers' attempts at sending messages, and honeypots to detect the activity of spammers. By running a tarpit which appears to be an open mail relay, or which treats acceptable mail normally and known spam slowly, a site can slow down the rate at which spammers can inject messages into the mail facility. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/s/st/stopping_e-mail_abuse.htm   (4303 words)

Talk:Stopping e-mail abuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If you use C/R, then people who send you legitimate mail are indeed quickly whitelisted and never see another challenge. Indeed, some argue that using a C/R system means sending unsolicited, bulk email (that is, spam) to all those people whose addresses are forged in spam. However, when someone sends you spam, your C/R system fires a challenge into the air, which falls to earth you know not where. wikipedia.lotsofinformation.com /wiki/index.php/Talk:Stopping_e-mail_abuse   (444 words)

Stopping e-mail abuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Systems that use ham passwords ask senders (at least, strangers) to include in their email a password that demonstrates that the email message is a "ham" (not spam) message. If a person subscribed to a mailing list begins to use C/R software, posters to the mailing list may be confronted by large numbers of challenge messages. Ham passwords are often combined with filtering systems, to counter the risk that a filtering system will accidentally identify a ham message as a spam message. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stopping_e-mail_abuse   (250 words)

Stopping Spam and Malware with Open Source Web utilities which test a mail server to determine whether it is an open mail relay can be found at the Network Abuse Clearinghouse and at Fabel (a Danish organization whose purpose is to promote the responsible use of e-mail). Ideally, filtering on the mail server should be heuristic (that is, it should be able to recognize new as well as existing malware) and should focus on catching malware for which e-mail is an important vector. The mail server would reject most of the guessed addresses, but the few that were not rejected were recorded as target addresses for spam. www.brettglass.com /spam/paper.html   (12514 words)

Stopping e-mail abuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For example, TMDA can create "tagged" addresses that permit mail sent from a particular address, mail that contains a certain "keyword" or mail that is sent within a pre-set length of time, such as a day, a month, or a year. Disseminating an ordinary email address that is protected by a C/R system will result in those who send mail to that address having their messages challenged unless the sender has been previously whitelisted. Finally if the software used to run the contact forms is buggy or badly designed they can become spam tools in their own right. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stopping_e-mail_abuse   (4558 words)

Stopping e-mail abuse -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article For example, (additional info and facts about TMDA) TMDA can create "tagged" addresses that permit mail sent from a particular address, mail that contains a certain "keyword" or mail that is sent within a pre-set length of time, such as a day, a month, or a year. For example, a time-limited tagged address can be created for a short amount of time to allow correspondence related to an online order, such as shipping notices, but expire after a while to disallow future marketing e-mail from the online store without the store responding to message challenges. Some C/R systems allow for the creation of "tagged" addresses which allow messages to be accepted without being challenged as long as the message meets certain requirements. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/s/st/stopping_e-mail_abuse.htm   (4359 words)

Death to Spam Stopping genuine commercial spam often entails showing its senders the error of their ways, that is, convincing them that rather than locating new customers through their abuse of the Internet, they're succeeding in enraging and alienating vast numbers of users, who will subsequently want nothing to do with them. Spam will have to include opt-out instructions – this means, in effect, that every spammer on earth can legitimately spam you once, and you'll have the responsibility to jump through whatever hoops they can think up to be removed from their mailing lists. It's predicated on the belief that spam generators use software which searches the towering spires of unpleasant replies they receive from their mass-mail programs, and somehow uses this information to decide who will be spammed next time. www.mindworkshop.com /alchemy/nospam.html   (256 words)
