Stopping Spam: Stamping Out Unwanted Email and News Postings - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alan Schwartz is an assistant professor of clinical decision-making in the Department of Medical Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is the author of Managing Mailing Lists (O'Reilly & Associates, 1998). In his spare time, he develops and maintains the PennMUSH MUD server and brews beer and mead with his wife. As mail administrator for a number of organizations, he deals with unsolicited email on a daily basis; as the moderator of the rec.games.mud.announce USENET newsgroup, and a NoCeM issuer for rec.games.mud.admin, he gleefully fights back against netnews spam. Turn-ons for Alan include sailing, programming in Perl, playing duplicate bridge, and drinking Anchor Porter. Turn-offs include spam (obviously!) and watery American lagers. Simson Garfinkel is a computer consultant, science writer, and columnist for The Boston Globe. He is the author of PGP: Pretty Good Privacy (O'Reilly & Associates, 1994) and the coauthor of Practical UNIX & Internet Security (O'Reilly & Associates, 1996), and Web Security & Commerce (O'Reilly & Associates, 1997). Mr. Garfinkel writes frequently about science and technology, as well as their social impacts. This is his seventh book.
