Sorry about this, but the volume of spam has gotten
intolerable, and the domains that are hosting it have
been embargoed; anything from the domains
yahoo.com
hotmail.com
msn.com
aol.com
will be deleted with extreme prejudice.
If you happen to be one of those very few decent people who
are using one of these ISPs (yes I'm pissed), and you want
to contact me, you'll have to punch through the filter.
To do that, take the two-word phrase I used in the sentence
above, misspell the second word using the commonly-used shorter
mispelling, concatenate it with the violence word that precedes
it, capitalize, and enclose the result in square brackets.
Someday, somebody will make procmail easy to use, and this
won't be necessary.
Regards,

New subject: [CCTALK] [OT] WinNT *free*
I have some MS Windows NT 4.0 shrinkwrap bundles (1996) free
for postage to the list. Contents: CD, Boot floppies, small
manual, certificate.
I am not trying to pollute anybody's computers with bugs.
These were cast off by Priceline when they had a reduction
a few years ago and I was able to rescue from dumpster.
Requests, comments & complaints off list please.

I get a lot of spam, and I do not get much spam from those domains.
Like nearly zero. HOWEVER, I get plenty of spam that is forged and
claims to come from those domains. Learn to read the full headers and
track down the originating site and you will find out it comes from
Korea, China, Russia, Canada, etc. (Kinda like reading te postmark on
a letter and not trust the return address.)

I understand the sentiment, but that hoses me. I work for one of those
guys (I'm not admitting which one here - company policy) and I happen
to use a variety of names from those domains because I want *portable*
e-mail.

those domains.
Like nearly zero...
Agreed... as you say... lots of mail purports to come from those addresses
but does not. Personally, I don't have a problem with isolating entire
countries because they can't/won't tighten up open mail relays. There's
an entire thread about how/why South Korea is infamous for this, but it
boils down to a "standard" install for schools, and all the security
instructions are written in English, causing lots of adminstrators to
skip a post-install securing session... <rant,

Procmail IS easy to use, it's just hard to learn. :-)
Most of the "From:" headers with the domains that you're blocking are
forged. I think that you're probably better off taking a look at something
like SpamAssassin <http://www.spamassassin.org>. It's a cool toy, and
endlessly tweakable.

Hi,
(offline)
To do that, take the two-word phrase I used in the
sentence
above, misspell the second word using the commonly-used shorter
mispelling, concatenate it with the violence word that precedes
it, capitalize, and enclose the result in square brackets.
Would that make it: PUNCH THRU ?
Just curious...if it isn't that, then you probably need to
change your directions ... unless you're intending this to
also be an intelligence test :)
thanks ... and I don't blame you!
