#yahoo #email app on #Android does not always show all folders. Restarting does not help. Very strange and very inconvenient. Is there a good mail app for android you can recommend like thunderbird? #yahoomail #yahooemail #emailapps

The whinging about Treads is sad.

There are a number of ways this can go:

  1. Threads won't federate. Happy now?
  2. Threads federates, you don't subscribe to anyone on the instance. Happy now?
  3. Threads federates, you blacklist the whole instance in your user blacklist. Now happy?
  4. Threads federates, you subscribe to a few people whose writing you like. Happy?
  5. Threads federates. Threads users realize, they can jump ship to another Instance and still talk with and to and about their friends. Threads loses users. Happy!
kkarhan,

@mikka ASnd yes, if it was my decision, #TooBigToFail #eMail #Spammers like #Hotmail / #Outlook, #YahooMail and #GMail would be blocked...

If I had the funding, I'd explicity start an eMail provider that blocks everything but #E2EE - encrypted [ PGP/MIME ] eMails and forces everyone to properly encrypt their shit.

Because I ran out of spoons and 10+ years after #Snowden and #PRISM there is no excuse to act like a Snitch!

Does anyone know someone who works at Yahoo that I could get in touch with to have our link preview user-agent exempted from the cookie consent page?

Update: I'm now in touch with someone from Yahoo, thanks!

kkarhan,

@Gargron Instead I'd just refuse to use #Yahoo since they #cockblock shit on purpose...

But since Yahoo evidently doesn't give any f**ks - just ask any #Mainserver - #Sysadmin about #AbuseReports to #YahooMail - consider just using #LynxBrowser's #UserAgent or #Google's #Crawler or similar instead...

Why is the .US domain -- the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United States -- consistently among the most prevalent in phishing domains?

And why is this okay, when other ccTLDs that also restrict registration to residents/citizens don't seem to have this problem? And when a fair number of .US domains are used to attack US government agencies? Today's story explores these questions:

Domain names ending in “.US” — the top-level domain for the United States — are among the most prevalent in phishing scams, new research shows. This is noteworthy because .US is overseen by the U.S. government, which is frequently the target of phishing domains ending in .US. Also, .US domains are only supposed to be available to U.S. citizens and to those who can demonstrate that they have a physical presence in the United States.

kkarhan,

@hackbyte @briankrebs yeah, but to go back to the point: #Spam is a big issue and 99,9% of all Spam that isn't bring #DROP'd by #Spamhaus blocklists are from #GMail, #YahooMail, #Hotmail / #Outlook.com / #Office365 / #AzureHostedExchange and domains hosted by registrars like #GoDaddy, because #Google, #Yahoo, #Microsoft and the Registrars refuse to even process #Abuse #reports at all.

Gens de Mastodon, connaissez-vous un moyen de joindre quelqu'un chez #YahooMail pour débloquer l'accès à un compte dont l'adresse de secours n'existe plus ?
C'est pour Madame.

@TheDoctor512 Vorallem weil diese sich selbst nicht daran halten und #AbuseReports ignorieren.

Nur #Mail, #YahooMail und besonders #Microsoft haven diese Form von #Arschlochtum und sind deshalb für den überwiegenen Teil an #Spam verantwortlich!

Today in admin news: A certain berlin club had the brilliant idea to automatically send out abuse notices whenever fail2ban notices unsuccessful login attempts in their IMAP logs. Our university chair just got their internet turned off because the uni's central IT got startled by a flood of abuse reports against our IP space. Guess what: Someone here who once held a now deleted mail account at the club still had it set up in their thunderbird, which dutifully tried to poll the inbox every 10min.

kkarhan,

@fluepke @basisbit @jaseg no, but I expect to - like any bona-fide - enforce it's terms of service and yeet from their list of clients.

Because that's what every other hoster that isn't a does...

Heck even the big ones like , .com and do get their act together when one provides them with evidence.

If one doesn't want to deal with , then maybe don't be a that doesn't vet their clients...

Die ersten Instanzen blockieren . Einer der Gründe, warum ich selbst was hoste. Ich möchte gerne selbst bestimmen, mit wem ich föderiere und mit wem nicht. Ja, da wird viel Unfug her kommen, aber eben auch ein paar schwer zu ersetzende Quellen. Diese in Sippenhaft zu nehmen ist IMO kontraproduktiv. Insbesondere bei einer "Instanz", die mehr Nutzer haben wird, als der Rest des Feediverse. Oder dann halt Feedibubble.

kkarhan,

@adlerweb angesichts dessen dass .com, und bereits jetzt ihr "" aka. "" missbrauchen sollten wir dies nicht auch woanders tolerieren!

kkarhan,

@adlerweb ja, und deswegen verweigere ich mich nicht nur der shice, sondern schaue wie ich deren Systeme komplett blocke...

Werde dazu wohl ne seperate Blocklist baun, damit deren Traffic nicht regelrecht Zeugs DDoS'en kann!

Das Nicht-Bearbeiten von #AbuseReports ist ferner ein Grund weshalb ich #GoDaddy mit draufpacke:

Alle #Spammer die nicht #Microsoft365, #GMail oder #YahooMail nutzen sind erfahrungsgemäß bei denen!

mir scheint, dass es ein traditionslinker fehlschluss ist, zu glauben, dass interoperabilität etwas mit bündniskultur, allliertentum oder sowas zu tun hat oder haben muss. das gute an protokollen ist doch, dass sie eben völlig agnostisch gegenüber den sie einsetzenden personen oder von ihnen übertragenen inhalten sind. daher sind metas intentionen gegenüber dem fediverse oder ihr moralisch-politischer kompass an dieser stelle völlig egal. https://mastodon.opalium.net/@opalium/110655863321874829

kkarhan,

@mspro Wir sehen das Problem schon bei #eMail wo mit #YahooMail / #Yahoo, #GMail / #Google und #Outlook.com / #Microsoft drei Großkonzerne allen deren absurde Regeln aufzwingen, sich selbst aber an keine halten müssen, und dementsprechend für 99,99% allen #SPAM|s verantwortlich sind, der nicht automagisch per #Spamhaus weggeblockt wird!

Atn admins:

Time to start working on allow lists and authorized fetch, folks.

We cannot stop Meta from trying to federate and control some instances. What we can do is establish new rules for federation.

The time to block unknown instances by default has come.

Start preparing.

kkarhan,

@yuki2501 to put the analogy with other #decentralized & #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider options together:

Only #DenyLosting bad actors is boing to work.

I'd rather block all the shitty "#Freemailers without #Abuse-Handling" like #GMail, #Outlook.com & #YahooMail than only doing allow-listings...

embrace, extend, extinguish

i dont really understand the logic applied to Acitivitupub, or the fearmongering around it

if Google abandoned Gmail, SMTP wont die or become useless

Google isn't out there trying to backdoor SMTP in RFCs etc

infact, companies like Google give back to opensource projects and make them better. sure sometimes they make their own implementation, so what

Activitypub could be forked at any time by anyone. that's the benefit of open source

kkarhan,

@yawnbox well, then you haven't seen how #GAFAMs like #Microsoft pursue it!

#BigEmail is already a problem as #TooBigToJail causes basically all #Spam to be from #Gmail, #Outlook.com / #Azur #HostedExchange & #YahooMail, as they don't react to #AbuseReports at all!

    Clarification

    You do not have to worry about your mastodon.social (m.s) account being defederated.

    There is a well meaning, but misleading post currently promoted that suggests you should move your m.s account because:

    1. "Instance admins are considering defederating them"
    2. "Their admin is making spam accounts easier to create."

    Very few, if any, instances are considering blocking m.s, and the recent spam attacks are worthy of sober discussion, not hyperbole. [more]

    1/

    kkarhan,

    @mastodonmigration depends...

    In the end it's up to every server & instance admin to make a decisin.

    Personally I'd recommend people who can to do .

    Also based off issues with - , I think we need to avoid creating the :fediverse: - equivalents of :gmail: , :yahoo: & .com where said hosters get away with ignoring ...

    Sometimes a precendent must be set and "Fix your spamming or GTFO" is reasonable.

    kkarhan,

    @rmdes nodds in agreement

    The problem is when some providers become "too big to ban" and act maliciously.

    For example, due to , basically all use , and .com.

    , & are notorious for ignoring reports and not giving any shit, yet instantly & silently block mailservers if they don't setup SPF the way they want it.
