Conference Round-up

Mail Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG) - Heidelberg, Germany - June 10 - 12, 2008

Rod Rasmussen attended yet another meeting filled with great content and enthusiastic members - this one with wide attendance of the ISP and e-mail protection community.  Highlights included some fascinating presentations on the power of DNS in malicious activity detections, and work people are doing to extend "reputation" to domains, name servers, URLs, and even registrars.  Several big providers are testing DKIM at both sending and receiving ends - time to start working on a deployment solution if you're a phishing target!  Rod gave an update on the APWG Internet Policy Committee he co-chairs, and looks forward to some combined efforts from MAAWG on several fronts.
