These are just a few of the top level domains that are 100% pure garbage because of namecheap. Any traffic to my networks from ANY of these results in an instant firewall rule blocking their IP addresses. There are much more, these are just the worst offenders. *@*.info *@*.top *@*.at *@*.science *@*.link *@*.xyz *@*.click *@*.pro *@*.download *@*.date *@*.design *@*.stream *@*.gdn *@*.men *@*.win *@*.ke *@*.club *@*.ar *@*.bid *@*.trade *@*.loan *@*.host *@*.icu *@*.cc *@*.vip *@*.us *@*.pw *@*.ooo *@*.site

Thanks for posting that. I'll bet if you look deeper at the headers you will find the TLD that points to Namecheap.com as the registrar. I've been fighting this war with them for 10 years now. I will bet my left nut it's Namecheap.

Oh oh oh oh!!!! Please do a whois lookup on that .us domain. Or just give me the full domain name I will do it. PLEASE I want to hear.

I would be curious what the domain was for your spam you are talking about. I've gotten to the point where I can recognize a "NameCheap.com" spam without even doing a Whois on it. Did it come from a .info, .xyz, .pw domain for example? You need to 100% block ALL of those - permanently. They are 100% spam.

Speaking as someone who has run Exchange since 1994, i can tell you it is a pretty complex subject. It's a whole science. The technology is always changing, the criminals are finding new ways to try and exploit people. It's a war. It's a war I mean to win. But you have to keep on top of your edge firewalls, examine logs daily. DKIM and SPF are critical. Careful configuration of DNS based blacklists are critical. 99.99% of spam is dropped by simply blocking non-conforming inbound messages. I then have my firewall block their subnets for a year to cut the noise traffic. Right this minute I have over 1/2 million subnets blocked on an edge firewall... All of that is totally automated but I have to keep on top of it to make sure nothing gets through. On our entire infrastructure, I can remember getting 1 spam email in the last 2 months. (the firewall drops about 1 a second).

It turns out that the space-time continuum is not merely curved, it is in fact totally bent.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wow, after years of education people are still using google. That alone should tell you something. The answer is just keep yourself separated from the "unclean" google users. One of the first things I did when I built my voip network was to block that google-voice or whatever it was. That was literally job #1.

Lick a snozberry, it tastes like a snozberry!

Then we can we meet in the middle and say it will kill half of us?

If you portscan me, my firewall blocks your entire subnet in about about 200ms. The block is for one year. I have 1/2 million IP's blocked at this second. Not sure what e-suck thinks they are going to get from this but welcome to my blacklists. Oh well, the world is full of stupid people.

Around here, armed muggers will force you off the road and carjack you, maybe shoot you before they steal your car. So what it sounds like is with a Tesla, all a carjacker has to do is step into the street and the Tesla will stop and put your whole family in danger of being murdered. Is there a way to override this "feature"?

It has a drag-drop interface. OK, so that system was built without code? What did monks just meditate it into existence?

I'm just beginning my work day right now, having a coffee, and I'm logged into a server named Haggis.

That explains why my firewall was running 15 degrees cooler...

Oh, and in addition to microsoftonline.com, the page loads stuff from "office.com" and "mem.gfx.ms" and "s-microsoft.com". Apparently these teams were not aware that Microsoft already has a domain "microsoft.com" for them to use.

Microsoft is notorious for doing this. Just this hour I had to go to Microsoft.com to get something work related, and it redirects me to "login.microsoftonline.com". Now I have to stop what I'm doing and verify that "microsoftonline.com" is actually "microsoft". Hey MICROSOFT! Are you stupid? Why do you do that?

Here are some points. You may not agree with them, that's ok with me. The Internet was not created to be an advertising platform for scumbags. The vast majority of websites are nothing but click-bait to try and attract people so they can push ads. If you created a website with the goal of pushing ads, then you should take it down. This is not what the web was designed for. Go away. Sites like these are just trash. I've been a network engineer since the 'net was telnet and gopher, and many servers didn't even have passwords. You could just log into them. That was before "marketing people" discovered that the Internet would be cheap way to exploit people. With VERY few exceptions, I have not seen any advertising since around 1999. Finally, the Internet was created for the free exchange of information. NOT MARKETING. I'm not saying that marketing should be illegal, I'm saying that your opinion that the Internet is a giant advertising platform is wrong. And we will fight it until our last breaths.
