| JT | spam detection is far superior to hotmail |
| PioneerVM2 | also the interface with "tags" is excellent I switched from IMap to Gmail I handle 3 accounts (personal and 2 biz) in one interface easily with tags, vs. IMap I had to have 3 separate accounts |
| JT | i wished they released the gmail interface open source so you could use it on your own mail server :P i don't trust others hosting my stuff that much |
| PioneerVM2 | you can hook up your domain to it |
| JT | but then they'd be hosting it |
| PioneerVM2 | yea i dont want to deal with that crap |
| JT | which is bad |
| PioneerVM2 | i hosted my own email its a pain in the $$ |
| JT | it's a piece of piss |
| PioneerVM2 | the spam levels are enormous |
| JT | only if your address is in wide circulation |
| PioneerVM2 | i receive over 2,000 spam mails a minute, not exaggerating |
| JT | to one address? |
| PioneerVM2 | with all my domains, etc. they just phonebook spam my domains |
| nick125_lappy | I run my own mail server, and I haven't gotten a single piece of spam mail |
| PioneerVM2 | no its not that spam gets thru to me its the load |
| JT | nick125_lappy: i get practically none |
| PioneerVM2 | they mail the phonebook@mydomain.com and i have like 50-100 domains for my biz |
| JT | phonebook? you you mean dictionary? |
| PioneerVM2 | yea, joe@ mary@ bob@ etc. no phonebook every name u can imagine, they must make it up |
| JT | no-one else calls that phonebook that's a brute force attack or dictionary attack |
| PioneerVM2 | i call it phonebook |
| nick125_lappy | You should write a script to block them if they try to email too many false usernames |
| JT | yay |
| PioneerVM2 | iif it was dictionary it would be "basketball" "television" "house" |
| JT | err, no |
| PioneerVM2 | "mary" "joe" "bob", i call phonebook |
| JT | no-one said the dictionary was the english dictionary |
