FTC LARTing Open Relay Operators


The U.S. FTC is sending a letter (168 kb PDF), co-signed by several state attorneys general and consumer protection officials from Australia, Canada, Japan, and Mexico, to operators of open-relays, urging them to Do The Right Thing and secure their mail servers. Cool. One nice thing is that the “how to secure your server” message (74 kb PDF) appears to have been translated into a dozen languages. Cool.

Better to learn their languages than simply invading them...

Operation Email Freedom commences with several weeks worth of Shock And Awe™, as several divisions pour into China to forcibly shut down open relays.
