[Asrg] 2.a.1 Analysis of Actual Spam Data - Titan Key reduces spam attacks

2003-07-31 11:33:34
I've posted an updated log file analysis of spam sent to
peterk(_at_)cyber-hawaii(_dot_)com <mailto:peterk(_at_)cyber-hawaii(_dot_)com>  
which is an
old email address of mine that is still in use but under the protection
of The Titan Key. 
 
that log file is at: http://www.titankey.com/misc/logs/logPK.xls
<http://www.titankey.com/> 
 
We're happy to report that with about 100 days of analysis, the trend of
spam attacks to this email address is DOWN.  To our knowledge this is
the only anti-spam software that has demonstrated this capability. 
 
As we've mentioned before, our technology responds with a 550 no such
user after analyzing the MAIL FROM and RCPT TO against a consent
database.    This has the dual benefit of saving bandwidth (email
contents are never sent) and, as shown above, reducing the attacks over
time.
