Yes but as I wrote already, an anti-spam system that uses responses can
not do this because as I said the spammer could mimick a list to escape the
anti-spam response mechanism.
Well - maybe an anti-spam system that uses an autoresponder is not the way
to go - but that's a different debate. We're talking about senderkeys - Not
accuspam!
Agreed!
SenderKeys is not tied to whitelist autoresponders.
What happens in the scenario where someone is away from their computer and
wants to send an e-mail from an internet cafe or someone else's machine -
how does senderkeys cope with that scenario?
The MUA they use reads their mailbox before sending.
I mentioned that burried in the zillion posts :)
As an aside - why don't you make the auto-response to mail lists go to
autoresponse_receiver(_at_)some_mail_list(_dot_)mail-lists(_dot_)com and the
admin will very
quickly spot it and point it at /dev/null.
Now we are back to talking AccuSpam. This again gives the spammer a way to
avoid the purpose of the auto-response by mimicking the list headers.
Perhaps a courtesy note to the
list admin would be a polite way of progressing also? You will have an even
harder job of getting all the mail-lists in the world to comply with
accuspam than you're having with convincing us senderkeys is a good system
;-)
Agreed. I think whitelisting by each user is the only practical solution for
the moment.
But as I said, we are targeting mainstream (mom and pop, soho, etc) users which
rarely use mailing lists.
If you set up a mail list for senderkeys, folks who are interested will join
and you will not have to struggle here.
Yes I do feel this experiment at SPF and SenderKeys discussion is winding down.
I hope so. Unless there is some really new information to present on
comparing the two.
Spamassassin integrates with spf,
but there's no-one here banging on about that, it gets mentioned in the
passing as do such systems as cloudmark and gossip. Perhaps you need to
build a mail-list/community of senderkeys supporters who will help you
resolve some of the difficulties (real and perceived) you are finding here.
What difficulties? You mean the auto-responder? There is no solution other
than whitelisting.
I, and others, don't do forums, so without a mail-list you are already
restricting your support base.
How truely interested are you in SenderKeys?
I did not get the impression that any one here is interested any way. Am I
mistaken?
Thanks,
