On the dark web IPV6 is seen as a way for hackers to hide amoungst the forest of trees. I can detail millions of IPV4 addresses that are not being used, some blocks with ISP / WISP that have never been allocated to a 'customer'
G'day Did I give U the impression that after a couple of years in prod. I think our sys. Is sxxt and we need 2 replace IT ?
What we found 20+ years ago when we started to provide a very poor service to attempted spam delivery was that the spammers realised our servers were very 'slow' and stopped the attempts. We used to get 1000s of new IPV4 tuples / day, now we get < 10. If you put the inbound SMTP sessions to sleep this is wrecking the spammers bus. model, they need to deliver 1,000,000,000+ / day. Don't u fell sorry 4 them. The only time we don't tuck them in 4 a snooze is if they are in a 3rd party BL !!!
G'Day Guys I have gone and had a another look at EFF and the issue for me is they have a 'Donate' in the menu. I'm a OG coder and have been giving away my efforts for decades, I believe that $$$ is the root of all evil, so I don't have any spare cash. What about a BC list of IPV4 that is a referral WL, I'm not gr8 at branding and don't believe in marketing, so the best I can come up with is 'BEN - Blockchain Email Net' ???
I'm a newbie to YC, can't c 'Edit' button, so I'm assuming it is like Twit. I'm not saying I wouldn't be interested, I think it is a really good idea, but really concerned that I don't find it is a waste of time after my privacy was again splattered
G'Day Femto Over the past 15+ years I have joined a number of groups like a web site 'web hosting talk' and all of them jumped all over my privacy and passed on my details to spammers / hackers. I know what you are thinking -> how would he know that ? Well its really simple I use DedicatedEmailAddressing ( DEA ) and our system tells me when a 3rd party tried to deliver a spam message using one of these DEAs. Some of our customers charge suppliers for a new replacement DEA when they find the supplier has 'leaked' :)
G'Day Carlos We started hosting own SMTP servers on IBM OS2 using a BBS. Long before retail NET was in Oz. Fast forward to today and we have a DB with millions of IPV4 address and have never used IPV6, cloudflare or a 3rd party to 100% stop spam like we do day in day out. You are absolutely right, there are a lot of criminals you are wearing suits who are selling snake oil. We have X simple rules, one is that inbound port 25 sessions from spammers are put to sleep and we give them a very poor service. Our servers seem overworked and they often go away never to return. I read your blog post and from approx. 30 years experience including SMTP at gov.au and gov.nz content filtering does not work. Our NoSpamAccepted ( NSA ) AI powered SMTP servers use the network to stop spam. How many domains & sub-domains are you self hosting ? TIA KG BTW - We have never been in the BLs as we only relay our outbound
