Hello everyone!
I have a lot to say and I hope it's worth hearing....
Welcome and go ahead :)
not pay your bills then you can't keep ending me traffic.
and thats not a
"Blacklist" it's not "Censorship" and so on.... it's basic
legal business
practice.
How does your approach deal with hijacked computers and the
like? Make the
computer owner pay? (Probably not even a bad idea, people
would start to
care what is running on their computers.)
.....
Well I am thinking of a few things... I just got a reply that mentioned
"RMX" which sounds close to what I am thinking.
Perhaps a DNS type of approach that requires an SMTP server to be
"Verified"
And if you are a customer of an ISP other other service operator then
you should be using their SMTP server to reach other SMTP servers.
(yes that's a relay, but a closed relay supervised by the ISP -- the
network operator keeping the chain of accountablity in tact)
Some of this can be done by the operators blocking outbound SMTP ....
Kinda draconian but it would cut back on "Rouge Servers"
And if you want to run a server you shuld not have a fit over having to
tell your ISP and agree that you will be accountable for any damges you
cause.
In many ways I'd take the SSL model, I will exchange trusted data only
with a partner I can verify as "reputable".
So if some worm go in and hijacked some Windows / Linux PC and started
to try and blast out spam it would fail unless they could hack the fire
wall and the public key / trust database.
If done right the PC user would get a call from the local ISP telling
them to fix the computer ASAP and take it off the net.
Cheers
Andreas
