The crooks always find a away around everything. Did you hear how the mathmeticians may be close to solving the problem that would basically make most encryption (including bank security) vulnerable?
Lots of different ways. My mailers generate aim and yahoo accounts with ocr then use those accounts to mail. By doing so landing in the inbox is very easy.
Originally posted by SleazyDream things like spam arrest work. imagine if something like that existed for EVERYONE? end of spam
Not true, i know a guy with a mailer that uses mailblock's own system against them. The way it works is by using the addresses he wants to spam as the from address and a random @mailblocks.com address as the to. Mailblocks sends a text copy to the from address with the ad in the email.

On the heels of the repudiation of Microsoft's Sender ID E-mail-authentication scheme last week by two major open-source software groups, spammers are doing the opposite: They're embracing the very standard intended to curb their abuses.

yes it blocks spam, but it can be used by spammers to spam other people. Challenge response systems have been around for a while starting with hashcash but its been proven a few times that it can't work with the masses since most of the general public is full of idiots who only use the computer for porn, cybering, and ebay. But thats a good thing for us

What hydro suggested above might work for smaller amounts I guess but, mailing as we know it today is soon to be gone. Todays mailers are already seing margins/profits that are ridicilous in a "historical" perspective.. So, its not really about stopping it, but profits.

well with an internal mailer you don't have to mail 100 million people a day. You can just mail 10 million a day and so long as you have fresh lists you'll still have really good profits.

Word. I did the same thing but stopped cause it stopped getting into AOL. Haven't mailed in a LONG time now.

Over the last month my Spam Can (deleted emails) has been relatively slow, I notice that spam is decreasing as the laws around the world change.
There will always be new innovative concepts to reach the market, there will be tunnels and trap doors around most spam software

You´re right about that.. but not everybody will be able to do it, far from.
We installed "I Hate Spam" on all our computers and email addresses. Seems to work fine.
The problem with Spam is the business it costs to those who send legitimate mail and newsletters.
How many of our Newsletters get blocked, dumped or deleted before the recipient can read them? Cost ing us business and the recipient. The idea of Newsletters is to keep clients and interested people up to date with new products and developements. A lot lose out because of spammers.
#1 internal mailers arent great..u cant send anywhere near what a regular mailer can push, and require a shitload of accounts..i wouldnt call these much of a solution unless u had one for aol since quantity isnt such a huge issue anymore (since aol is gold)
#2 spf is coming ..and if it works, which i bet it will, its gonna have a huge impact.
Dont be fooled by the cockyness. Only a fewmailers/programmers really know what they are doing, and know people who can code something that *could* get arouned new systems. The rest rely on grabbing a free copy of a mailer, loading their proxies and mailing like the other thousands of sheep that do it daily. If you knew what mailing programs were out you would see that 90% of the people all use the same one. When that shit tanks, they will all start to shit themselves.
Thre will definitely be some weeding of the smaller mailers..thats for sure...in the end, there will be less spam..there will still be some spam..but less spam
The majority of your spam is being done by professionals, not nubes like you. So if I go to Jakarta and setup a DNS server with the Sender ID list and then start spamming the fuck out of you, what did you list requirement accomplish?
And if I do this in the other 60 countries where laws are moot and money is God then what? Who is going to stop me when the person who is 'running' the server is a national of the country the server is in and gets paid $100,000 a year to be my house boy?
proxy mailing will probably be done for but spam sure isn't. this SPF is going to be a pain in everyones ass. you do realize that everyone here who owns domains has to get the published with SPF in order to send mail to hotmail,yahoo, ect. there are going to be a lot of ppl who won't be getting their email with this system.
you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
The biggest problem that will come of this is at least initially emails not being delivered because of unknown address, which I think will affect/bother people more than getting spam. People will get used to the new way of things though and spam will be minimal.

internal mailers are effective. The accounts are even cheaper than lists or proxies too. With $200 you can buy around 20,000 - 30,000 yahoo accounts depending on the seller. With those you can mail about 3 million people each day since yahoo doesnt kill accounts that spam, at least not yet. Aol can't simply block off al of yahoo since tons of mail would be lost.
Spf is already being used. see this article. ttp://thewhir.com/marketwatch/spf090804.cfm
Speaking of spammers.. er, I mean mailers . Lets say a guy had a couple hundred thousand legitimate optin address he was wanting to unload. Maybe interests from crafts to mortgage to opportunities (get rich quick) interest groups, how would this guy (theoretically) find buyers for his lists?
If these lists existed and the guy wanted to unload them, they would probably need to be cleaned, some may be 4 to 6 months old. Theoretically some would also be full data with name, address, email address etc. and others would be flat email address databases. All would be optin addresses (not unsubs).
Just curious.....
