On one hand, I have been a strong supportor of SPF/SenderID and it is sad we lost one tool to fight spam1. On the other hand, I […]

Busan Day 2 – Emerging Spam
Yesterday, the speakers have more or less covered almost all the current antispam techniques, I wonder if I should repeat them again for my talk today which will probably makes it pretty boring.

FTC is urgings companies to close their open proxies. I play a small role in advising IDA to participate in this initiative. Sure, whats the point of closing open proxy now that most spams dont even go through open proxy? But “why not?”. Yes, we can do more but that is a story for another […]
