Re: [mailop] DKIM with 3072-bit or 4096-bit RSA signatures

2023-04-27 Thread Florian Vierke via mailop
Hi John,

I had the same question and the quoted sentence still doesn't explain the why 
for me. The key rotation explains, that it is possible to publish the keys 
without a harm for you, but I don't see a benefit for anybody in publishing the 
old private keys. If you do, I'd be interested in your opinion 

Thanks, Florian

I posted the same issue on May 25th. No response, so they don't seem to have 
anybody on this list.

It's gotten a little better after I implemented SRS, but it's not completely 
gone.

And it's somewhat unclear what their interpretation of "rate limiting" is - 
looks more like "we're blocking your mail until someone decides to unblock" :-)

Hi List

I subscribed to the Yahoo FBL on after we got some 'low volume' phished account 
abused for spam and staying under our radar, targetting yahoo recipients which 
now tempfails our smtp outbound ip range for 'user complaints'.

https://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?page=contactform=en_US=Zh%2FBBVqXzLHlIbokbUqVWTUbuuQeXGkGnZzhKR2JQ4O6mMQdy9JSWdtWFXvjthcYCRj9bUIFfycOfG%2B4GOHPHoOGa8HwDO2%2B0kYRtTcdR8Nja5P9HWkKh3VWfS3pyu4UdjhvwG%2BBCvnYFl5dToDK%2Fw%3D%3D=email-icon

I added our ISP email service email domains. But we also host business customer 
domains on that email platform, which I can not all add.

Does anyone know, if it is possible, to register a IP Range for YFBL?

Re: [mailop] Anybody know Anthony Mitchell or Inboxsys?

2021-05-20 Thread Florian Vierke via mailop
I‘ve been working with Anthony a few Years back at Teradata/eCircle. He joined 
Adobe and later Inboxsys. I can confirm, that he‘s 10y+ in the industry and has 
been to M3aawg, csa summit, was speaker at emailing 2020 
(https://youtu.be/Snue0SHOG3g) and so on. So yes, he does have some contacts ;)

We’re still running our Youtube channel deliverability.tv together, as much as 
time allows. :)

Regarding inboxsys - it‘s a rebranding of ‚mailmike‘ and exists for a few Years 
now as well. Mailmike was developed by Sebastiaan de Vos, formerly managing 
Deliverability at Emarsys.

Deliverability is a small, but nice family ;)

All,

We've been contacted by Anthony Mitchell, representing Inboxsys.com - they are 
brand new in the deliverability space, and yet they claim to have relationships 
with all of the ISPs and ESPs; however I can find *nothing* about them, 
anywhere, other than on archive.org, which shows that they only spun up the 
service within the past 6 months.

Does anybody have any insight into Mr. Mitchell (obviously no relation) and/or

Hi everybody,

the requirement for having an imprint in advertising mails is not limited to 
T-Online. It’s a legal requirement and also criteria for the Certified Senders 
Alliance (CSA) which is at least relevant in Germany. For those not having 
heard of it – it’s a whitelisting project originally from Germany, but going 
more and more international. In Germany pretty much every ISP and ESP are 
participating and therefore sticking to the rules.

The rules 
(https://certified-senders.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/CSA_Admission_Criteria.pdf)
 explicitly require imprints and (you know Germans  also define how exactly 
this have to look like):

[cid:image003.png@01D67D20.AAF9EE60]

CSA is actively checking if participants follow the rules, otherwise senders 
get excluded from the Whitelist.

And to close the circle – T-Online is members of the CSA as well, so they don’t 
necessarily have to check everything themselves – they can also rely on the CSA 
whitelist.

Cheers,

Hi there



Have any of you had any bad experiences with Deutsche Telekom lately?

They put one of my servers on their blacklist after an IP change with

the reason that I have to provide an imprint on that machine.

Have I missed something? Is this how it is done now?

Without wanting to defend DT and the details of their policy, I do see 
understandable reasons for this policy, and I'm applying a somewhat similar 
strategy with pretty good success. Note that the presumed goal is to defend 
against spam, not to bother innocent senders, but in border cases that still 
happens (just as it happens with other mechanisms such as SPF etc.)

A significant percentage of spam that still gets through after blocking dynamic 
IP addresses and known spam sending networks comes from

  *   anonymous domains
  *   hacked mail accounts or servers
  *   misconfigured servers (web sites sending replies to mail-addresses 
entered via web forms)

The second and third variant can only be handled on a case-by-case basis, I 
typically inform the admins through spamcop (of course that only works if they 
have a working abuse contact) and block the source because the sad experience 
is that admins of an already badly managed service likely don't react to abuse 
reports either.

The first variant is more or less what you have. With the (IMHO stupid) 
decision to handle whois data as GDPR protected spammers have pumped up the 
volume of spam sent through domains whose registries hide whois data because 
that allows them to register their domains with fake information (the 
registries and registrars don't check, they happily take the fees and don't 
care otherwise). The net effect is that anonymous domain registration together 
with hosting with a "we don't care" hoster is a pretty good predictor for 
spamminess.

Checking for an imprint is a strategy that works in Germany for many cases due 
to the legal requirement to have an imprint on web sites intended for the 
general public. I don't know how DT checks that, they probably use automated 
tools plus some human augmentation. In any case, this would enable them to 
whitelist a good percentage of domains that would otherwise be considered 
anonymous.

I have to deal with much lower volumes of mail, so I have decided to 
"permanently greylist" domains of this kind and to add exemptions after a short 
manual check whether the domain can be assumed to be legit. In addition, all of 
our rejection messages contain a link to a web page where we can be contacted 
in case of an erroneous block (false positives happen with every spam blocking 
policy). I do not put any demands

Re: [mailop] t-online.de outage?

2020-06-10 Thread Florian Vierke via mailop
Hi folks,

Probably this was already mentioned, but T-Online is a traditional German ISP - 
in the past the did only offer Email accounts along with a phone contract, but 
nowadays it's open to everybody. Generally I'd say the average user is German 
and older than 30y.

Contacting them on the mentioned addresses usually provides quick and helpful 
feedback in my experience. If you write in German it might be a plus 

Hi Andy,

well.. there is software out there that does exactly that. Follow every single

I am seeing. That stuff is pretty annoying. But you’re right, for abuse reports 
there should be a webform and some kind of captcha. I don’t agree with the 
unsubscribe mechanism though. As list-unsubscribe is supposed to be done by the 
mail client in the background without showing the result to the user, a captcha 
or something like that would defeat the purpose. But that’s already kind of 
solved with https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8058.

Hi Alexander,

I’m not so sure about that, having in mind that the list-unsubscribe header 
already causes some headache on my end as some filters are checking and 
therefore „clicking“ all the URLs they find in body and header.

At a minimum wouldn't such software already follow all links and
confirm deliverability on behalf of the recipient every time they
got marketing email? That seems like a bad idea to begin with, and
also a bad idea from the web server side.

All web contact forms already need some sort of "I am not a bot"
detection because of software like that; you couldn't have some sort
of "this is spam" web service that took a report solely based on a
GET request, and sensible unsubscribe mechanisms don't work that way
either.

Cheers,
Andy
