The rest of our servers will be moved at later dates and we will announce every move on our blog, Facebook and Twitter.

The only thing remaining now is to move the services providing filtering for our domain filtering customers. We will do this during the coming months and we hope this will be completed by the end of the summer. Most of you who use the domain filtering service won’t have to do anything and won’t notice. No need to change your MX records.

If you have set up your firewall as recommended in our FAQ you will only have to make sure to update the rules so that it doesn’t block the IP addresses used by our new servers. Please make sure your firewall has been configured to accept all traffic on port 25 (or the port used by your mail server) from the following IP addresses:

85.24.138.228
85.24.138.229
85.24.138.129
62.75.203.192 - 62.75.203.223 (62.75.203.192/27)

You can read more about how to configure your firewall in our FAQ (log in required).

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any suggestions for improvements or have a request for additional statistics that you think we should add. Please send an e-mail to support@spamdrain.net.

Please note that the accuracy statistics is based on the spam you report back to us when SpamDrain makes a mistake. If a spam message slips through to your inbox you must report it to us (go to Report after you’ve logged in) or else it won’t be included in the statistics.

Vi tar tacksamt emot synpunkter och idéer om annan statistik som kan vara intressant. Kontakta oss på support@spamdrain.net.

Observera att statistiken över träffsäkerheten baseras på de spam som du rapporterar in till oss när SpamDrain gjort fel. Om ett spam slinker igenom ska du alltså rapportera in det under “Rapportera”  för att det ska räknas med i statistiken. På så sätt förbättrar du också SpamDrain-filtreringen.

Clicking such a link is identical to manually entering a search query on Google and clicking the “I’m feeling lucky” button. Google will run the query and automatically redirect your web browser to the top most result matching that query. For a spammer this is quite easily exploited. All he needs to do is to construct a Google query which returns the spammer’s site at the top of the result. One way to achieve this is using Google’s inurl search operator. E.g. inurl:E87ABD4CB56 will only return pages which contain E87ABD4CB56 in the address. It shouldn’t be hard for the spammer to come up with something unique.

So why would a spammer do this? Well, some spam filters use addresses in e-mails to determine if they are spam or not. By using Google addresses, some spam filters could get confused because Google is usually a trusted site. For a spam filter which only cares about the host name in the addresses (i.e. www.google.com) this could be a problem. Other spam filters, which look at the entire address, shouldn’t be affected by this trick.

Vi har sett den här typen av mail tidigare. Att det skulle handla om ett Ukrainskt IT-företag är med största sannolikhet inte sant. Snarare är det personer som ligger bakom olika typer av nätfiske, tex attackerna som Nordea utsatts för, som med detta mail söker sk målvakter. Målvakten är den som får ta skulden när bedrägerierna avslöjas medan de som verkligen är skyldiga till brotten undgår rättvisan. I Nordea-fallet har man hittat ett hundratal målvakter där många riskerar att ställas eller redan har ställts inför rätta.

Vi vill uppmana alla som får detta meddelande att absolut inte nappa på erbjudandet. Meddelandet känns igen på ämnesraden som är Earnings with us. Hela meddelandet återges nedan:
