Re: Looking for a part-time contractor..

Hi Anne,

I've been troubleshooting email since supporting Worldtalk's X.400 gateway in the 1990s. Since then, I've been a 
professional SMTP and LDAP consultant. My current clients are AT&T, The Gap, and SKHMS. I have just barely 5-10 hours a 
week but since I've been looking for a house to buy here in California since March, the prices have increased by 10% 
and upwards, so I'm kind of motivated to work extra right now.

The thing though is you might find someone cheaper than me. I'll quote you $150/hour for this work right now.

Many thanks!

CP

All,

I hope this is an ok place to post this - the people on this list have a
unique skill-set and world view that is exactly in synch with that for which
we are looking. :-)

We're looking for someone for some very limited (in terms of hours) part-time
contract work..but ongoing, regular work… the person needs to have a keen
sense of "why did this email fail delivery" and/or "why is this email going
to the junk folder" and "why did this email end up blacklisted" (this is for
email sent by white hat senders, or at very least senders who are trying to
be white hat - *not* for black hat stuff).

So, basically, someone who, when shown an email (full headers, etc.) their
first thought would be to check whether authentication was set up properly,
is rDNS set up properly, what does the content look like, what are the IPs
of the various hops and are any of them blacklisted, etc. etc..

If anyone here has that background/skill set and might be interested in, say,
5 to 10 hours a week extra work (remote, time of day not important so long
as they are available most days, so ideal for picking up some extra cash
after $DAYJOB), please let me know offlist.  Please also feel free to send
this to anyone you think might be a good fit, so long as you'd be willing to
vouch for them.

Thanks!

Anne
