Email Security Glossary
I recently created email security glossary out of the smaller one that was included in mta-signatures paper (its now > 5 times larger with almost 300 terms and abbreviations!), it includes primarily email and cryptography abbreviations and terms but number of related network and dns terms are also there. This glossary will be shared among several of my projects and websites, but currently its first official location is: http://www.metasignatures.org/glossary.htm Feel free to check this out and if you find any terms that you do not believe are accurately described, let me know. P.S. I sent the above info on Friday on couple other mail lists, but forgot to do this on nanog even though I did mention here before that I was working on this glossary when we were talking about botnets and even used portions of text that were sent to me when defining that term (and I would like to thank all those who answered me and helped with the glossary). -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william@elan.net

I would represent "spam" in all lower-case letters. The all-CAPS format you use throughout the document is a trademark of Hormel Foods. Hormel acknowledges the generic use of the term "spam" referring to email but requests that it not be capitalized. Otherwise an excellent reference.
