The biggest problem being spam. We need to educate typical e-mail users about e-mail hygiene and spam fighting.
What do you mean by «e-mail hygiene» and «spam fighting»?
E-mail hygiene: - Using aliases for every company you deal with, or using recipient delimiters like "+" so it is easier to find out which company sold you out. - Exercise more caution when handing out your "primary" address - Avoid services that like to spam your addressbook (see: LinkedIn etc.)
Spam fighting: - Using DNSBLs to cut down on the crap - Training spamassassin's DB with ham and spam. - Enact rate limiting policies so that a compromised account can only do limited amount of damage.
Oops. My bad.
Than what do you mean by «typical e-mail user»?
Someone who primarily uses webmail and big e-mail service providers. Probably doesn't even /care/ about e-mail, e-mail isn't cool after all. ;) -- staticsafe O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please don't top post. Please don't CC!
