Let's find out.
I've just created a posterous account at http://pmn.posterous.com http://pmn.posterous.com
The email that I've authorized is paul@pmn.org
I've put one post on there, any other posts that appear are not from me.
(I should note, I use Posterous for some personal stuff and love the service. This isn't something I've been terribly concerned about yet.)
- fierarul 16y agoI see two posts already.
- icey 16y agoSorry about that; that was a mistake I made when creating the blog. I sent an email prior to creating an account - the system was smart and merged them. I've removed the extra one, so it should be back down to one.
- brlewis 16y agoMy welcome email from July 2008 has a prominent box that says, "Setting a password for your account is easy. It's optional, but here's why you should..." What did you welcome email say?
- icey 16y agoYep, my welcome email has the same box suggesting I add a password. I think they're going to end up just as safe as every other blogging service out there.
- icey 16y agoI just got this email from Posterous: ATTENTION: We noticed you're sending this from a different computer or location, so it won't get posted until we're sure it's you. Please confirm that you sent this. So, it looks like they've thought about this problem already.
- kirubakaran 16y agoBut what action did they ask you to take to confirm that it is you?
- icey 16y agoOh, good question - there is a link in the email to confirm that I want it posted. There is also a dashboard that lets me see all of the attempts and either approve or delete them.
- ComputerGuru 16y agoOK. Easy enough: email spoofing + ip spoofing.
