My only thought is how much the coming era of 1,000+ new top-level domains, internationalization of the DNS space, and IPv6 will motivate new thinking vis a vis spam and related. I'm sometimes quoted, from back around 1990, as joking that I remembered the good old days when you could read all the Usenet newsgroup topics in one day as they breached 100,000 groups -- an echo of an older comment by someone else that they remembered when you could read all the content every day. Soon, "I remember the good old days when you could recognize all the TLDs, including the ccTLDs, and had all the gTLDs memorized and could even say why the were each created!" (other than perhaps .COOP :-)? So, for example, if your (Joe or Jane End-User) risk assessment of a .COM or a recognizable string in .COM is lower than some others like maybe random-noise.country-i-never-heard-of what does it mean when that spreads to 1,000 or more, possibly closer to 2,000, TLDs alone let alone internationalization? How can filters even be kept up without automation? etc. What will they make of punycode domains? etc. Same question for 128-bit addressing which if nothing else may let miscreants be much more highly motile. And I'll toss in the progress of smart phone technology for free, who thought even a few years ago I could carry around so much spam in my pants pocket! Now, 64GB is de rigeur. And how go the smartphone botnets? shudder. Maybe it's just the calm before the storm? -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
