Press Coverage Is Fun

Here’s where I show off my vane side in my blog; as opposed to my “OH GOD WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAND!?!” side.

In my role at Sendmail, Inc., I had some good quotes in the following article on news.com:

E-mail filters not fooled by signed spam

“Since SpamAssassin is built in a very transparent way in how it does its filtering, we see a lot of spam that is directly targeted at getting past SpamAssassin,” Wacker said. Sendmail’s own spam program, [Mailstream Anti-Spam Filter], wouldn’t be fooled by the technique because it doesn’t give better scores to signed e-mail messages. Filters frequently use a scoring system to evaluate whether a particular message is spam or legitimate.

There was also an article late last month (which I wasn’t forwarded until just last week) with some quotes regarding VeriSign’s SiteFinder service.

VeriSign move ignites uproar

All I can say now is ding-dong the witch is dead!

More press fun to come…
