We often find web pages with the feature to freely (without authentication) send emails to anybody you specify. For organsizations who have implemented anti-spoof measures on email servers, this opens up a loophole for spammers to send spoofed emails. Suggestion: For organizations who are concerned about spoofed email, the feature of sending emails without authentication should be removed on all their web sites. I believe this should also be included in OWASP guide. Anybody has any objection on this suggestion? Do let me know, thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This List Sponsored by: Watchfire Watchfire's AppScan is the industry's first and leading web application security testing suite, and the only solution to provide comprehensive remediation tasks at every level of the application.
