exactly - SMTP is not a validation of the sender nor is that
the purpose of the protocol. The purpose is simply navigation
and delivery. To think otherwise is to completely disregard
the intent of the protocol. SMTP. Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol. Not "identify users protocol".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

There's a small false assumption there - that all spam messages are small - but
yeah, the rest is true. I'm not trying to suggest SMTP headers are
"proof". That's ridiculous - but they're hardly useless either.
In any case I don't think we're actually disagreeing - SMTP is not reliable, MS
was probably trying to smear Android and it's probably a Yahoo problem whether
this originated from android handsets or not.
What confuses me about their strategy is that even if you accepted everything in
the MS blog as true, it's still not an android problem. User installs malicious
software, blames operating system??[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
