Kojote Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I haven't been keeping up with anti-spam projects lately and just noticed Okopipi is now dead. Has anything replaced these projects or is anything similar being developed? MODERATORS: Please move to appropriate forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Betsy Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I moved your post to the Spamcop Lounge because it is not dealing with spamcop reporting problems. I've never heard of okopipi but I think I remember Blue Frog and that it has been gone sometime. Wasn't it the site where you could repeatedly query a website so that it became unusable for regular traffic? To be used only for spamvertised websites. There is another anti-spam reporting site called Knujon that concentrates on closing spamvertised sites if you haven't heard of that. There are several spamcop reporters who routinely submit spam to both spamcop and knujon. Miss Betsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 The Complainterator is the spiritual descendant of Blue FrogComplainterator was written by a Blue Security member, and is dedicated to the memory of the blue frog, Fred, whose premature death spawned a new era. This is Fred's bequest. Use Complainterator in loving memory of Fred!See http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?...ost&p=60620 and following (noting CastleCops has gone from the support arena). KnjOn, as Miss Betsy suggests, is another to consider and one possibly a little closer to 'smack and move on' model of murdered Blue Frog and the aborted Okopipi (well, frogs don't actually 'abort' but the project did).

dra007 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 since when is abortion illegal in the frogdom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 since when is abortion illegal in the frogdom? My thinking was: frogdom oviparous = no parturition, ergo 'abortion' non sequitur est. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 The author of "Complainterator" has since moved to http://ksforum.inboxrevenge.com/. The product is now at Version 22.9. I have had good success utilizing the program with registers deleting domains of spammers. Also some good information at the forum on spam in general.

AlphaCentauri Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I also suggest that you check out the InboxRevenge forum. The spectacular demise of Blue Frog made people aware that this is about a lot more than just nuisance emails. Internet crime is big business and spam is only one part of it. We composed an open letter to the US FTC chairman discussing those issues, and they will be equally pertinent to the incoming Cyber Czar: http://ksforum.inboxrevenge.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2574 Just as Spamcop is primarily working on alerting ISP's to compromised machines emailing spam, the members at InboxRevenge concentrate on educating registrars about the criminal nature of the domains advertised in spam. While registrars normally don't like to get involved in policing the content of websites, the fact that a site is engaged in illegal activity makes it almost certain it was registered with fake information. A registrar can suspend sites with fraudulent registrations, and we believe it has a responsibility to do so lest it be seen as an active participant in criminal activity.
