@bojkotiMalbona @diebarschlampe nodds in agreement

Personally, I'd love to start an #eMail provider that literally bans all #unencryped (aka. not #PGP/MIME-encrypted) #eMails and will tell senders to fix their shit every time they don't encrypt stuff and just flatout delete any unencrypted mails.

Same with Hosters known to snitch on users [beyond duely submitted warrants!] or being #PRISM collaborators.……

@fuomag9 granted, @stratosphere only lists what pinged / portscanned / attacked their systems and nothing else.

Which is why I use multiple blocklists simultaneously to filter traffic.

Personally I consider #ClownFlare aka. #CloudFlare to be a #RogueISP that was allowed to become #TooBigToBlock just like #Outlook.com / #Hotmail,#GMail and #YahooMail as well as #Mailbox.org are today in terms of #eMail...

I run my own email server as well, and I've done so for more than 10 years.

Spamhaus has not been the biggest of my pains, that slot belonged to #Microsoft (particularly #hotmail) and #Yahoo, and it took years for them to finally accept our emails without complains.

I believe some of the problem was because I hadn't implemented DMARC fully, I made 2 big mistakes, I think:

- Choosing 'quarantine' instead of 'reject' in my DMARC directive. I did this because I wanted to monitor before turning more strict (and then forgot). I should have gone with a more restrictive directive from day 0.

- Choosing not to send daily DMARC reports to other domains/servers, because I thought these messages were going to increase my traffic with spam servers, so it could be counter productive. I believe it worked the other way, having not done so actually costed some reputation to my server, so if I did it again, I would be shooting DMARC reports from day 0 as well.

Note that making these 2 mistakes won't prevent you from getting 10/10 score for the email tests, however your emails won't reach to the usual suspects.

As your server is considered 'matured' by Microsoft and Yahoo, you may consider using an alternative external email service such as AWS SES. It is extremely cheap and reliable.

I remember signing up for #Gmail all those years ago with glee. Back then, #Microsoft email via #hotmail was a hot mess, while #Yahoo email was slightly better—but only in the sense that 💩 is better than 💩 🔛 🔥!!

I am grateful that #Google launched Gmail as it did radically change my life for the better (privacy issues aside).

I know folks will mention #Protonmail (which I have also checked out). I may sign up with the latter later on.

Third spruce tree on the left

Things I wished I would have known earlier # 287:

If you use #Gmail or #Hotmail / #Outlook email accounts with the **Windows Mail*** application, despite what you have specified in the account's own profile/configuration, or what you specify in the account's Windows Mail setup, Windows Mail will just blithely add your real name / Windows login name to an outbound email's `FROM:` field.

* dunno about the actual Outlook application.

@renchap Some readers on Hackernews rightly pointed to the lack of context in the story about how much it generally costs spammers to wholesale buy or create these accounts themselves.

I'm lacking some current stats on this, but did find some interesting parallels in a 2011 study by UCSD which showed that the prices for Hotmail accounts were WAY cheaper in bulk than Gmail or even Yahoo accounts, primarily because there were fewer speedbumps to opening a new email account with them, so they had more available.

krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content

Fast-forward to the botnet powered mass registrations on Mastodon.social and elsewhere last month, and we can see that the vast majority of the email accounts used to register new accounts were hotmail.com. I don't think that's an accident. Spammers go where it's cheapest and easiest. #microsoft #hotmail #spam

Of course, when it comes to the value of a *hacked* inbox (i.e. one that actually was used by a human at some point and not solely created for abuse), the value can be enormous.

A screenshot of some tables from a 2011 academic study from UCSD on the costs of registering accounts in bulk for spam and other abuse. The study found Gmail accounts could be had for 7 cents apiece, while Hotmail accounts fetched just .007 cents.
