Dear all, I am a Ph.D. student that works in Hanover (Germany). I am currently studying the distribution of spam mails and e-mail addresses. For that I am gathering some information from e-mail distributions of institutions and also individuals. I developed a script that gathers the information from auto-whitelists and, because of privacy issues, hashes the e-mail addresses. Therefore I just get the distribution of the auto-whitelist but there is not problem with privacy as the e-mails are not available.
The information I get is how many e-mails were sent and which is the average score. With this information I get the distribution of for example how much spam that institution/university receives. I would like to ask you if it would be possible that you provide me with that information from your institution and/or individual machine. I attach the script which takes only some seconds. It is in perl so it is really easy to see what it does so you could check that it does exactly what I say and no security would be compromised. It will create too files: one with the e-mail addresses in plain text and another one with them hashed. I am interested in the hashed one. Please, don't send your answer to the mailing list because of the attachments. I promise to keep you informed of the results I gather from that information and post here the statistics as e.g. average percentage of spam received so you would all know about it. I would like to thank you all for your attention and hopefully your help too.
