Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results
paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...

MAAWG Issues First Global Email Spam Report
Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group Tracks Email Metrics to aid Industry, Business and Governments in the War on Spam

By: PR Newswire
Mar. 8, 2006 04:00 PM

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Including data from some of the world's largest Internet Service Providers, MAAWG (Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group) has developed its first metrics report outlining the scope of the problem and validating that approximately 80 percent of Internet traffic today is abusive email. The report, "MAAWG Email Metrics Program: The Network Operators' Perspective," provides data for the fourth quarter of 2005 and will continue to be updated on a quarterly basis as an objective tool for tracking the industry's efforts at controlling abusive email.

The report was initially presented to the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) on March 6 as a private sector initiative supporting efforts to combat messaging abuse and its effect on the global digital economy.

Metrics derived from the report for the fourth quarter of 2005 concluded that:

* There were more than 1,000 blocked or tagged inbound emails per mailbox. * With more than 1.5 dropped connections for every unaffected email delivered, there were approximately 500 dropped connections for each mailbox. * Participating MAAWG operators saw approximately 4 blocked or tagged inbound emails for every unaffected email that was delivered, representing 80 percent of the traffic on their networks as abusive. * Assuming 1 abusive email for each dropped connection, the ratio of blocked or tagged inbound emails for each unaffected email delivered increases to 5.6 emails or 85 percent.

The MAAWG email metrics program includes over 100 million mailboxes, providing a statistically significant sample. This first report includes metrics provided voluntarily by nine MAAWG-member ISPs and network operators worldwide. Future reports will be expanded to include additional ISPs.

MAAWG is particularly suited to the task of measuring abusive email levels because it is the largest global trade association focusing on this problem. Its members include major ISPs and network operators worldwide with other associated industry vendors.

The complete report is available from the MAAWG Web site at http://www.maawg.org/. It was finalized at the organization's 6th General Meeting in San Francisco, Feb. 28 through March 2. The meeting provided opportunities for members from some of the world's most active email services and vendors to coordinate their programs for controlling abusive email.
