Hi;
I am just
brainstorming.. Pro.. con?
We know one thing
about spam.. someone is trying to sell something.. so in every spam there has to
be a way for the spammer to be contacted through:
1: Web site
visit (URL or IP),
2:
email
3: Phone
number
In general I have
seen no more than one or two of the above unique entries in a single
spam.
In the absence of
a point of contact there is no point in the broadcasted mass
mail.
Of course the
above is the obvious ..
While all IP4r
tests concentrate on finding the point of origin of the email what if we try to
block the email content?
So what
if..
1: An added
program be written as an add-on to Declude that extracts the unique emails,
URL's, IP's or phone numbers from the body of the email.
2: Sends
these numbers as query to a server much like the IP4r tests for
response.
Would this not
work?
I know with our
filter tests we have pretty much blocked all spam. In the last month I
have had one spam that came through and the rest are all blocked. So if we
are to expand on this the logical step, in my opinion, is to have a centralized
check point for all the entries we have.
We can brainstorm
about this and bring out bad, good, what if's, .. may be collectively we can
solve this problem.
Bad
idea!?
Regards,
Kami
