12/26   SpamAssassin on soda in SERIOUS need of upgrade to latest version.
        Got 36 spams in my inbox just since yesterday.
        \_ Have you e-mailed root or VP and offered?
        \_ I use the latest version and I STILL get a lot of spams. It seems
           as if the spammers are getting smarter and smarter with their
           spam contents that get flagged with very little points. *SIGH*
           Fighting spam is like fighting AIDS. You think you can get rid
           of it permanently with the tri-cocktail dosage, and BAMM! It
           comes back and you have no choice but to use other drugs to
           suppress it, and the cycle goes on and on...
           \_ sounds like you didn't turn on the bayesian classifier.
           \_ I mostly having problem with Blomingdale spam. and Bayesian
              filter is not doing the job.
        \_ I use an ancient version and it works fine.  User error.

8/16    Why does my Y! mail account always full of unfiltered spam
        mails (and they're obviously spams)? Why can't they do
        a better job like Google mail? Why does Y! mail charge
        for exporting email? Google mail doesn't do that.

8/12    Ugg, no spamd any longer?  I figured I'd have to just give up on my
        soda address (sad, very sad) but Vacation doesn't seem to be installed
        either, so I can't even leave a mesg. to people telling them where
        tom mail me now.  Or can I ?  Any advice out there.  Or can we get
        spamassassin/spamd reinstalled or Vacation or... help....
        \_ Ha, gmail as spamassassin.  presently I am forwarding to gmail

12/8    Old news, but new to me:
        Spam King kills himself and his family after escaping prison
        http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1553&tag=rbxccnbzd1
        Hopefully more spammers will take the hint.
        \_ I wish the same fate can go to all marketing and
           advertising folks, selling people things they don't

7/17    Thanks to steven, et al. for restoring Soda. In lieu of www.csua providing
        status, could there be a text file with current status and future plans.
        I'm wondering if SpamAssassin is obsolete (and my procmailrc and scripts)
        and won't be restored, and what's filtering spam now.  thanks!
        \_ How do I buy steven a beer or donate gobs of money?
           \_ I got him a Hacker-Pschorr, he seems to like ales.  Prob IPAs

5/4     Is mail still down? I don't seem to be getting any and vermouth
        is unavailable. I saw a note saying it was down Sunday, but it's
        almost Tuesday now.
        \_ exim4 decided it wanted to just die. With the same config file and
        everything. Steven spent all weekend and a lot of yesterday migrating
        to a VM. A side effect is that NFS is now no longer on Keg, so crashy
