Dear all,
I am a researcher at TU Delft in the Netherlands, looking into Network
Security, Protocol Adoption and human factors.
My student Olamide is looking into how well _sending_ email setups are
maintained around the globe.
For this, we need many people, ideally from 'smaller' providers, i.e., with non
gmail/hotmail/yahoo addresses, to send us emails.
Please consider participating in this study, and sharing it in your networks.
To help us, please follow the instructions at:
https://www.email-security-scans.org/
Important caveat: If your mailer validates recipient addresses before accepting
mails for delivery, you might be unable to send to destination addresses that
are (a) only resolvable via IPv6 only, or (b) Have broken DNSSEC, which we use
to test DNSSEC validation. If this is the case, please just remove the 1-3
offending addresses from the To: header. Please also note that our test setups
will test whether the host delivering mails to us is an open relay. Also note
that you may receive bounces from your mailserver for some of the destination
addresses, e.g., if mails cannot be delivered via IPv6, or if your mail-setup
validates DANE records for our DANE test domain. We do _not_ need a copy of
those bounces.
In case you want to get results for a domain you operate or use early, please
just drop me an email from the same domain and delivering servers after you
participated, and I will share the data with you. :-)
