The Spam Problem: Moving Beyond RBLs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the dont-spam-on-me dept.

whirlycott writes "I just published a paper called The Spam Problem: Moving Beyond RBLs on my site. I comprehensively describe RBLs and list eight specific problems with them. I also get into ideas that next generation antispam system creators should read. I hope that this will be useful to anybody who is attending the Spam Conference at MIT on Jan 17th."

    Journals are just as suspect as the web.

    I realy have to disagree with this. I could "publish" the statement 'poop is healthy to eat because after eating some I got over a sickness' but that would never get published in a medical journal of any type without substantial medical inquiry to back it up.

    No one can prevent you from making false scientific claims on your website, and while they may pop up from time to time in journals they are fairly rare.

    I just added 3 inches to a part of my body, refinanced my mortgage for 4%, took care of my baldness, and made thousands thanks to a giving man in Zimbabwe.

    It couldn't have been easier.
