| A lot of unsolicited email goes unreported
because tracing the origins of a possibly
forged mail and finding the right people to
report to, is complicated and time-consuming.
Ricochet, a smart net agent, automates this
process. It traces the names and addresses of
the systems where the spam originated from
along with the servers that provide domain
name resolution services to these systems (in
most cases their ISPs). Then it
collects/generates a list of email addresses of
tech/billing/admin/abuse contacts of these
system and mails them a complaint and a copy of
the spam.
Detailed description of its workings can be
found in the README file that comes with the
package. |
