Well, THAT was unpleasant

[TheProject]

One of the duties of my job is to peruse the folder of quarantined e-mail to see if everything that the filter caught is not business related. Normally, this isn't a bad job, because you get to see what interesting personal e-mails people are sending, and their taste in porn.

Today, I'm scanning through there, and I find an e-mail advertising a child porn site.

I've never run across anything like that before, and hope I never run across it again. They promote themselves as an "art site", presumably in an effort to avoid being shut down.

I told my boss about it, and went to google to find out where to report it. I filed two reports with two separate agencies.

What a way to start the week.

So how does this software work? Incoming? outgoing?
by screening for keywords? or specific URL?
I get a shitload of spam sent to my business email address, and I don't want my boss thinking I'm inviting it.

Disgusting.

Get ready for the flood of p.m.'s from ef members who want the address.

Someone has to be a real fucking pervert to actually stick their neck out and make a child porn site.

It screens everything, both by keyword and URL. We use Trend Micro for Exchange, and it does a decent job, but there's a product called SpamAssassin that is supposed to work a lot better.

I'd love to see some hacker smash the shit out of that site.

Bummer, but kudos on reporting it.
