FPs in WS
by Joseph Burford 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Two more FPs in WS. ientryMUNGEDmail.com The domain is used for mailing list management by the ientry network, we have several confirmed legit subscribers to their WebProNews, newsletter. siteproMUNGEDnews.com Once again several confirmed subscribers, mainly web designers or people who have used their submission services. Bayes training fixes any problems at my end, or I could locally whitelist, however they shouldn't be listed in WS :-) Both have valid unsubscribe options. Interesting reading comments about FPs over the last week. I think because of the global ramifications of these lists we need to make sure that spam is definately spam and borderline is excluded from listings. Otherwise the lists just become personal preferences of what we want to see in our mailboxes!! Regards, Joseph

more possible FPs (2 OB, 4 WS and 2 DS)
by John Lundin 21 Aug '04

21 Aug '04

Eight possible FPs. These were taken from items reported as non-spam. The "nanas" number is raw matches on the domain from google groups. Use your own judgement... OB: www.mercenariesthegameMUNGED.com (nanas 0) mentioned in a lucasarts review OB: www.jmiequityMUNGED.com (nanas 0) mentioned in a Dow Jones newsletter The original wasn't caught by OB, but it shows up now. WS: Wireless.VentureReporterMUNGED.net (nanas 9) A stock newsletter. I checked back: it really had been subscribed to. WS: nmailerMUNGED.com (nanas 36) Design center newsletter. http://ellington.nmailerMUNGED.com/mailman/listinfo/dtgnews WS: www.imakenewsMUNGED.com (nanas 42) organization newsletter. http://www.imakenewsMUNGED.com/cabf/ (+ cleaned user tracking) imakenews makes me nervous... intrusive html. WS: ntcrMUNGED.us (nanas 43, some similar) Jupitermedia Web Events. (origin of mailing list -- appearance in unsubscribe disclaimer) (Site won't display for me, insufficiently motivated to find out why it said "Your Web browser must have cookies enabled" regardless.) And if anyone cares: DS: surveyhelp.harrispollonlineMUNGED.com (nanas 19) http://www.harrispollonlineMUNGED.com/sweeps.asp (sigh) yes, they subscribed to it. DS: www.winxpnewsMUNGED.com (nanas 42) http://www.winxpnewsMUNGED.com/issues.cfm Single reference in a tech newsletter... (I test for DS with a nominal score, so it doesn't bother me.) -- lundin(a)cavtel.net "By the time they had diminished from 50 to 8, the other dwarves began to suspect 'Hungry' ..."

Again I ask, hacked? A hacker broke in and sent spams promoting the site he just hacked? How nice of him. --Chris

This has been a problem from that IP for a long time. Stats on spamcop show report for 360+ days. They are just now finding out they were sending this. Hacked? I'm confused by that. Hacked would use the system to promote some other product. Hackers don't normaly send out spam to promote the website they hacked! "Oh we are sorry. A hacker got in and was sending spam promoting our company. We stopped him." Is that how the conversation went? I say no. Make that a NO! I think you got handed a bucketfull of listwash. --Chris

Did you even try looking at this? Spamcop has their IP listed. There are posts all over NANAS about these guys! Hell I think I even got one of these spams directly to me!
