Spam spam spam spam ...
by David Farrar 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

I'm facilitating a session on spam at the InternetNZ Summit on Thursday, and am going to do a quick backgrounder on how big the problem is both overseas and in NZ, plus look at some potential solutions. I've got lots of overseas stats but would love to be able to include some more local stuff. If anyone on the list can easily find out and send to me and stats they have on spam and their ISP, it would be most welcome. The sort of stuff I'm after is: - No of spams received pre day/week/year - % of spam is of overall e-mail, by number and GB - Any cost estimates for your ISP either in direct costs such as bandwidth or indirect costs like % of helpdesk time - What spam filtering, if any, you offer. - Any significant problems with false positives using blacklists etc - what calibre bullets should be used to eliminate spammers :-) Ta DPF

The New Zealand Network Operators' Group The New Zealand Network Operators' Group (NZNOG) has no king, president or formal membership. At present it consists of the subscribers to this mailing list, which anyone is free to join. NZNOG held a face to face gathering as part of the UniForum NZ conference in 2002, and is to do the same again from 10-12 July this year. See http://www.uniforum.org.nz/conference 2003/conference.html for details. If you're going - and you are, aren't you? - it's time to get on with registering.

From experience I know that ANZ's 'net banking site is based in Aus (https://www.anz.com), and would imagine that WPT have probably done the same thing.

The "nz" bank domains appear to be: asbbank.co.nz bankdirect.co.nz bnz.co.nz nationalbank.co.nz trustbank.co.nz (obtained by grepping for "nz$" in a suitable transformed copy of the list at the nai.com URL that Dan Clark gave). Curiously anz.com.au is there, but anz.co.nz is not, and westpac.com.au is there but westpac.co.nz is not. Obviously it's trying to pretend to be "The Bank" (almost all the domains in its internal list seem banking related) despite the fact that almost all banks have "webmail" systems rather than sending actual email.
