"Almost all attacks seems to be based on the alteration of the "from" DNS field."
No, most criminals lie. Most problems come from people that also happen to lie about who they really are. The From: can be anything you want. That is not undesireable. It allows me to send mail to someone from "ME" at a different workstation, or geographical location.
The problem is that all our software trusts this field to be honestly presented. Our software needs to validate/reject based upon the ACTUAL origion, NOT the "stated" source. Easy fix.
The "From:" spoofing protection is NOT an easy or reasonable change to make. Make the actual physical connection (ISP) be responsible and reachable. Then we can inform him of a problem with his subscriber, and HE can take action, or be BLOCKED! - Posted by: jrbeaman Posted on: 01/16/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
