Today's focus: MX Logic CTO speaks out on spam and
authentication
By Michael Osterman
Scott Chasin, CTO for MX Logic, had some interesting comments on
spam and authentication at last week's FTC/NIST Email
Authentication Summit.
Here's some of what he had to say:
* Spammers can quite easily publish their own Sender Policy
��Framework (SPF) record. In September, MX Logic reviewed 10
��million spam messages that flowed through its network,
��representing more than 400,000 unique domains, and found that
��one in six of these domains had SPF records.
* Spammers can leverage throwaway domains quite easily. New
��domains can be registered quite easily and propagated throughout
��the Internet within a matter of hours. Domain registrars are
��plentiful and compete heavily on price, often not even requiring
��a credit card to register a domain. As a result, a spammer can
��register a domain, publish an SPF record for it and then discard
��the domain just as easily.
What CRAP!
I have debunked it!
