Hi all,
just using the new feature, one can initiate email with somebody
using a from of a disposable.
As I have tested, you go, from the advanced mode tab, to
"send a message from one of your disposable addresses"
You specify an email you would like to send mail
you specify the disposable (new or not) that will appear in the from of the sent mail
You receive the email address (let me call it "mailing tag")you should use to send the email (from your email client, webmail, wherever).
(be warned, your email address will be masked, but there will appear all the delivery chain up to the computer originating the message, so ... dont take that is an anonimous feature ...)
QUESTION TOPICS
=============================================
The problem with SG was always how to use it with friends ... (you know, you never know when those will be virused and your email lost to the spamworld ...).
So, should the mailing tag is "time-unlimited" and "use-unlimited", I could use the following technique:
give my email to a friend, such as
myfriend.z.user@spamgourmet.com and tell her to use that
(or send a mail to her from myfriend.z.user ...)
Then, I would put the "mailing tag" in my address book, and use that to send mail always to that person.
Now, some questions:
IS the "mailing tag" time unlimited?
IS the "mailing tag" use unlimited?
If the mailing tag is time and use unlimited, my strategy would be possilble.
If not, anyone has solved this problem? How?
====================================
There should be some changes for this feature to be more convenient:
- filtering at SG of the "mailing tag" Currently it is included in all the headers delivered to the end email address. Otherwise, this could eventually be leaked. Look in the received (for) lines of all involved MTAs up-flow gourmet.spamgourmet.com ...
Then only the disposable address should appear.
- should the "mailing tag" time and use unlimited, the user should be able to shut it.
====================================
Another consideration:
if and only if ... the mailing tag is use unlimited, how to avoid the feature being used by ... spammers! ??
or how to implement a abuse mechanism ... that might axfisiate
Spamgourmet?
======================================
So, the unlimited mailing tag is the only solution I know to manage the sending issue, but seems to be an unresolved abuse hole ...
======================================
Thank all, let me know your ideas.
