Re: [anti-abuse-wg] GDPR - positive effects on email abuse

Well, we disagree in the definition of abuse maybe? You can find many definitions of this: "Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages, which are generally undesired" So, spam is abuse, and I don't need to know IPs to send spam. The mail server will use DNS to find them.

You can use any email address as an example: anti-abuse-wg(a)ripe.net Please think about it for a second: How would you go about sending spam to this email address without using an IP number? It is not possible for Internet abuse to exist - without an IP number. So, for this wg : EVERYTHING that is abuse is powered by IP numbers.

Andre 1 - yes and no - you need access to an SMTP server. 2 - again - you need access to resources I agree however that the domain without anything attached to it can't do anything The resources need IPs..

How come you can't send spam without the IP? I can look for new registered domains, use whois for catching the emails that appear there, and then spam them. This is something that I experience everytime I register a new domain, tons of spams to the whois recently created email contacts.

I consider an abuse the fact of collecting emails and sending spam. Also, if you have a domain, you can see what IPs are related to it for other kinds of abuses.

Final Decision on 2017-02
by Brian Nisbet 28 May '18

28 May '18

Colleagues, It was great to see a number of you in Marseille and to have a full and robust WG session. As you are hopefully aware Last Call for 2017-02 ended on May 25th. As there were no further discussions on the list post the Chairs declaration of rough consensus to move into the Concluding Phase, we have decided that consensus has been reached. With this we have asked the NCC to continue with the formal process and you should expect further information on this to the mailing list this week. Thank you all for your discussion of and involvement with this policy process.

GDPR - positive effects on email abuse
by ox 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hi All, Firstly I would like to comment that the multinationals and their funded trade groups (and their lobby orgs) shouted from the rooftops that if the GDPR came into effect, Internet in the EU would collapse and there would be digital doom and gloom. How wrong they were (hindsight is perfect - as we can all clearly see) imnsho the very early effects of the GDPR on email spam alone has been very positive. This without any cases, that I know of, yet, being brought against any of the evil companies yet. (yet being the operative word here - as I am sure, on email spam alone, there will be cases coming) The EU has truly become a world and global leader in the reclamation of individual rights and the free Internet. The entire planet is watching the EU and with the still pending " respect for private life and the protection of personal data in electronic communications" (ePrivacy) being the next truly leading thing to look forward to. Success of the Digital Single Market Strategy in the EU will lead to decentralised development (not to speak of empowerment) not only in the EU, but also in Africa, China and all over the globe. This will place the control of the Internet back in the hands of localised civil society and hopefully avoid enslavement of humankind. As far as this wg is concerned, what is happening in the EU is having a very positive impact on certain types of abuse :) my 1c Andre

New e-mail abuse trends
by ox 17 May '18

17 May '18

Hi, Has anyone else noticed that some known chronic spammers (previously with their own ipv4 and listed on RBL's like webiron.net sorbs, etc. etc. - for chronic abuse) - are now relaying spam through Google (google.com) and Microsoft (Outlook.com)? The other thing I am seeing is google.com relaying for non assigned ipv6 If this is a new trend, it is interesting, no? Andre
