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!

Sorry, but you SHOULD have put that out where an account is not required
to view the contents, especially publishing the URL in an open forum
such as this. However, upon registering and signing in i still get an
authorization error.
BTW, i love mambo, looks nice.
