Thanks for getting back - and looking up my profile is - special. :)
1) Agreed. So it's ~accurate~ really only for recipients that would use your service/the same configuration/classification, right? For everyone else this is an approximation. With a nice api and some UI love, but still.
2) Agreed, a lot of things are unbeatable. But you yourself market this as 'most often the _content_ leads to classification as spam' solution. Everyone can change the content, good guy and bad guy.
I'm not saying that the idea sucks and quite frankly someone involved into a business that sends unsolicited mail should know the deal already, but I still think that you're offering yet another testcase.
Security by obscurity is not the problem, the thing is: Can I create a client for your API that randomly appends/prepends/inserts meaningful text into my crap content and evaluate your opinion on my crap x times per second? You commented elsewhere that you're not keeping my content, so - how are you going to notice this abuse?
Okay, _NOW_ I'm too negative. Still - rate limit that stuff. :)
- orenmazor 15y agoThanks a lot. Now I'm going to spend half the evening writing a script to grab random spam out of my gmail and using this API to try and automatically turn spam into ham. I bet siri can already do this.
