1/7     Anyone else having problems with email sent from csua being
        considered Yahoo spam?
        \_ Their spam detection has been going whacko for weeks.  They
           have some major people pissed at them for it. --scotsman
        \_ Hmm, yup. Never had a problem before sending email from here to my
           yahoo account before until just now. Even marking as "Not Spam"
           doesn't help.
           \_ I think spam filters mark messages with "Not Spam" as spam.
              \_ I think we're talking about two different things. In Yahoo
                 Mail, when you're in your Bulk Folder, you can click on a
                 message and click the button "Not Spam". And supposedly,
                 the spam filtering engine learns from this and won't mark
                 this email address as spam again in the future.
           \_ Yahoo has rejected csua email a couple times in the past,
              thinking that soda.csua was an open relay.  Check the motd
              archive.
           yahoo account before until just now. Even marking as "Not Spam"
           doesn't help.
        \_ They block all sorts of shit seemingly at random.  It's for your
           own good.  Just stop using Yahoo.

e/7     I haven't been doing very much career-maintenance (don't know J2EE,
        .NET, web services, etc.). What are the preferred ways (by employers)
        to pick up experience in current stuff?
        \_ by employers, buy your own books. by employee, get them to pay for
                 \_ Nice catch-22!  You get the "uselessly stupid reply" award
                    for the week!
        classes, books etc.
           \_ Sorry, I should have specified that I meant "prospective
              employers."
              \_ get a job using the current stuff.
                 \_ Nice catch-22!  You get the "uselessly stupid reply" award
                    for the week!
        \_ .Net = .Dead
           \_ I'm actually seeing a lot of jobs for people with experience
              with .NET and SQL Server. -op
              \_ my father in law has been a software engineer at a big
                 insurance company for the last 25 years, and he's being
                 forced to learn .net by his employer.  of course, this same
                 company is forcing their new hires to learn COBOL also.
              \_ where at? - turin
                 \_ various posts on craigslist
                   \_ thanks
        \_ get Microsoft Certifications (MCSD)

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

4/7     I have a friend who recently started a blog posting about
        legal issues (he was a lawyer who was laid off). I'm not sure why
        he started this blog, but it's likely something he can show off
        to potential future employers. Anyway, he keeps sending emails
        whenever he's added another entry (approx once a week). Is there
        any netiquette about mass emailings to tell friends/relatives
