3/4     When was the last time you were fooled in opening a spam?
        How were you fooled?
        \_ A couple weeks ago.  Name was familiar, and subject was "hey".
           \_ spamassassin didn't catch it?
                \_ spamassassin is no god.  it works pretty well.  I haven't
                   seen any filter can filter out spam 100% and easy to set
                   up.  My spams cerntainly got cut down dramatically.  Only
                   a few keeps fall through no matter how I keep using sa-learn
                   on them.  But it is definitely way better than when I only
                   used procmail to filter them.
        \_ That Osama game sent via AIM a few weeks ago.
        \_ An eBay scam a month or two ago.  It looked like it really was from
           eBay, but the URL wasn't a real eBay survey.  I was pissed at myself
           for clicking on the link because I'm sure it verified my email.  Oh
           well, haven't seen an increase in spam in spite of my worries.
           \_ don't worry, you will.

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

8/18    trying to write an intentionally slow regex.
        what is your worst regex ever?
        this is using MySQL regexp but I'll also accept
        perl format         --brain
        \_ you need to know how regex is implemented internally in order to
           have a worst regex in terms of running time. Something that uses

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
