All,
Over on another email admin list, a discussion when a participant posted =
a spam sample, and was told "this isn't the place to post spam samples", =
led to our forming a private, confidential group where people *can* =
share spam samples, and discuss related matters.
So, we have created that list, which we are calling the Trusted =
Reporters list.
TR is *not* a list for reporting spam *to abuse desks*. It is *not* =
intended as a list where one could say "so and so is spamming me from =
$ISP" and someone from $ISP would look into it (although of course if =
they are on the list, I suppose that they could).
TR is *not* a public list where one can publicly post spam. It is, =
again, a private, confidential list of trusted reporters, for the =
purpose of discussing spam seen in the wild, ways of dealing with it, =
and related issues. For example, I have routinely been receiving spam =
from, among others, Ezoic and planetdatabase.com. I *do* report them, =
but given that the are sending through places like Google and Amazon AWS =
it's been useful in this endeavor that at least one colleague has also =
taken an interest in it.
TR *is* a list for those who are interested in learning about the =
sources of spam when they trust the person who is reporting that =
information. They can do with that information what they will.
TR is a confidential, private list for email *receivers* and *hosts*, =
and others in the anti-abuse industries. So ISPs, ESPs, spam filters, =
blacklists, etc..
TR is *not* a list for primary senders.
So, if you want to be part of this private, confidential list to report =
and discuss spam, and related matters, send a note to:
trustedreporters-request@isipp.com
with 'subscribe' in the subject line.
Please include in your subscribe request your name, a bit about yourself =
and your role in email anti-abuse (this is a list for email receivers =
and others on the email receiver side of the industry (as compared to =
primarily email senders)), and that you are from NANOG.
