The recent blooming of anti-spam group (must be the weather?)
Posted January 15, 2004 – 4:46 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in Spam and EmailThere seem to be a recent blooming of new anti-spam groups, must be the upcoming arrival of Spring. The ASRG has been around since last spring and MSFT/AOL/Yahoo AntiSpam Alliance has been around since the early summer. However recently two new groups have come up, and its a bit unclear what they do. One is the Anti-Phishing Working Group which targets “phishing” of credit card numbers. Since this is usually done via spam, the connection is obvious. No membership list of their website. The other, is a new MAAWG started by OpenWave and its customers. It would be interesting to see what develops…
Just some misc updates:
1. The ASRG got a new website, with a cute name - asrg.sp.am (sp.am domain curtesy of my ASRG co-chair, John Levine).
2. I switched RSS readers to a cross platform one called AmphetaDesk. Its written as a local webserver and is cross platform, so I can use the same settings on both Windows and Linux.
3. Upgraded Linux to Redhat Fedora Core 1. Not much difference from my old RH9. Maybe one of these days I will try out Debian.
