i’m a spammer?
September 22, 2009
apparently i’m being accused of “backscatter”, or at least my mail server is. the complaint comes from the practice of testing incoming mail to see if its sender is a real address. my server sends a callout to the apparent sending server of an incoming message to see if joeSpammer@domain.spoofed is a real sender, and if not, rejects the message.
my bad. it’s abuseable and causes undue traffic on a domain that’s been spoofed.
oh well – it was working as a pretty good spam blocking resource for me. blocked a metric shitload of spam every day with that one method.
so, now i have to wait to get delisted by backscatterer.org, or else pay 50 euro to get it “expedited”
now, who’s making money off spam?
