> The formulation in the article may lead to a very bad advice: in some areas, scammers do display a "company name", regularly. So: a numeric sender string increases the chances of the SMS being a scam; an alphanumeric sender string /does not/ decrease the chances of the SMS being a scam.
Just curious, which part of the text did you understand this way?
If I would guess it could be with this part:
> The number of the sender and that of the service provider they claim to be, do not match. Moreover, when you receive a message from bigger service providers, (f.e. banks, post offices, or delivery services) they will mostly have their company names displayed instead of their numbers.
As I understand it, the article suggests that you still should compare the numbers even if only a name is displayed?
But yeah your explanation is still on point.
Sounds like you would be interested in v2 (https://zitadel.ch/v2) as in it will be provided as single binary, which you should be able to use in our homelab setup.
There are a lot of other improvements, but if that's the only dealbreaker, v2 should take care of it.
