Please point out those measurements and statements of mine that show
that spam senders are shy about their identities.
You state that 8-% of spam comes from the free dialup account
domains despite the fact that these all implement rate limiting.
So how can so much spam come from those domains? Answer it
does not, the From addresses and routing headers are fake.
The software being 'sold' is stolen. The Nigerian schemes
refer to telephone addresses and drop boxes.
Telephone numbers and drop-boxes can be and are routinely connected
to the people responsible.
The success rate is not that high, the cost of the investigation
is high, unless you know the exact time the person is going to
collect the info the cost of a stakeout is prohibitive.
It is much harder for the bad guys to authenticate themselves
in advance to a specialist in the field with access to blacklists
of accomadation addresses, prisons etc. than it is to 'authenticate'
themselves to the customer.
Simply repeating the same old FUD about a business you don't
understand does not add weight to your claim. You can say you
disagree but you have not substantiated any of your claims in
the past.
!
Your arguments on this point appear to be religious in nature
rather than based on empirical observations.
