All _decent_ mail servers allow for the submission of email on TCP port 587. So you could send your work emails that way. Or VPN into work and send emails that way. Or even use your ISP's mail server to send the emails (though you might be hit an obstacle like SPF).
I agree, but there are problems with this. Idiot admins and clients not having the ability to change certain settings. Think small clients that have a domain and email is forwarded their IPS's email account.
SRS does solve this, however there is only a microscopic % of ppl using it even compared to SPF.
The big problem with SPF is forwarding. As soon as a server forwards on an email it uses the envelope sender which if has a SPF record fails the check. This is where SRS (or sender rewrite scheme) which rewrites the envelope sender, comes in. If everyone implemented SPF and SRS now, SPAM would almost die out.
Making sure its used on all outbound mail then makes it possible to blackhole failure messages that are sent to non-srs addresses.
However, how do you define a failure message? Currently its an email with a null envelope sender.
Due to web forms, forums, email receipt notification and the like sending out emails with a null sender, you can't just blackhole null sender emails to non-srs addresses.
Different mail servers have different subjects for stating that the email failed to get through, not to mention the different body texts.
Looking at amavisd's site its looking for Precedence: and other headers, which I'm guessing won't take long for the spammers to work out.
A great example of this is watching the TV show COPS.
Way way too gung ho. The funniest(well not really) bit is when they say at the start of the show. 'All people are assumed to be innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law'
And then you watch the coppers standing and kneeling on the back of peoples necks and backs telling them to stop resisting, when they are twisting and wrenching the persons arm from their socket placing the persons arm in an unnatural position behind their back, even when the person isn't resisting.
Obtaining a pulse from the fingertip is near-impossible. You have to get to the second joint of the finger where the skin is thinner. What about a thumb? I was always told during my first aid courses not to use your thumb when taking a pulse, as you are really talking your own pulse due to the way that your vains run through your thumb.

Gmail CAPTCHA Cracked

True, however with each swf showing up, the devs could implement some sort of hashing system, that embeds a hash into the monkey and on completing it successfully sends the onetime hash with the post saying the test was successful, basically like what they do with CAPCHAS now.
Its possible the spams originated from inside the 'trusted network(s)' that the barracuda mailserver allows relays from. i.e. a webserver that has/had an exploitable site or a internal machine infected with some malware.
I propose we trial this, with burglary, fraud and robberies on network, music and movie execs to be ignored/filed for stats/legal purposes and bank robberies on their accounts to go happen with no resistance.
And we allow them to go after as many pirates in say, New Zealand as they like:)
I just want to mention that it may not be rejected, it may be dropped, or tagged or even quarantined.
I know some places that use a points system and depending on how many RFC rules (ie Non-FQDN in the helo, or reverse not matching forward or no reverese record, etc etc) you get delivered, quarantined or rejected.
Good idea, but in places like Australia, its not feasable, its expensive for ISPs here for both the Links and the Data.
Check here for consumer prices, we get shaped (generally to 64Kb/64Kb) til the end of the monthly period once we hit our limit. http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc-plan.cfm
Fill out the form at the above location and see what you could get here (in Australia) for the same price you pay there.
It is illegal (a was law passed about 6 months ago) for companies to offer unlimited if the plan is being shaped, maybe they should do it there.

In Australia you are REQUIRED to notify anyone if they are being video taped or being recorded. (unless its via a warrant)

depends on the underlying materials cost.

Thats right, its better :)

And here I was thinking that the village people (with the songs they sung), would take a joke, specially considering a puppet is involved.
:(
I hope they are not going to sue the puppet, though that would be interesting.
The world really is becoming a sad and sorry place

Wahoo, time for me to go and play with my Atari 2600, tonka trucks and my toy cap guns.
I hope I am still allowed to buy my alkyhol
There are so many areas within range of regional cities that only have dialup.

ewwwww, using that you wouldn't even be able to get it up!!
If they were making a loss they would be going out of business.
Seen many movie studios going out of business lately?
Do you change your socks regularly?
