To make a short story shorter: for the last three days, I’ve been one of but a handful of people carrying around a handset running Microsoft’s unreleased Windows Phone 7 operating system. This specific handset isn’t one that’s ever intended for release, and, while it’s looking pretty close to done, the build running on the handset is by no means finalized. With these bits in mind along with my new personal policy of not reviewing big-ticket items until I’ve really lived with them (even if that means not being first out of the gate with a review; for logic, see here ), I present our pre -review of Windows Phone 7 in its nascent state

I recently wrote an article that dismissed the use of fake MX records as an email security measure, on the basis that it did more harm than good for preventing spam. I was reminded this week of an incident in which a customer was confused as to how spam was making it into their email systems. Actually this has happened on more than one occasion with the same ultimate outcome. The confusion mostly comes from the client thinking that because there were no MX records in public DNS zones that pointed to their email servers that the spammers and hackers shouldn’t be able to find them. The fatal flaw in that thinking is that spammers and hackers don’t just use MX records to find places to send email or attack mail servers. When they really want to find email servers, say to try and locate some open relays that they can exploit, they will use port scans instead. A “port” in networking terminology is a communications end point that is specific to a process or service running on a computer. In the case of SMTP, the protocol that email users, the port is TCP 25
