11/15   Spamassassin appears to be broken.
        Can't locate object method "splitpath" via package "File::Spec" at
        /usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 18.
        BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/spamassassin line 38.
        \_ Mail root or politburo with this kind of thing. -ausman
        \_ url recommendation for how to use it on soda?
        \_ I use it like so at home (I don't use soda for mail):

:0fw
| spamassassin -P -a

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
{
        :0:
        spam/.
}
        So the first line pipes it through SA and if SA tags it as spam with
        the X-Spam-Status header them it gets dumped into my spam folder.
        Otherwise it doesn't get altered at all and falls through to the
        rest of my recipes.  This is in my .procmailrc, of course.
        \_ I suggest you limit the size of SA'd message to something like
           256k. SA is a bit slow even on reasonable size messages, and
           with no size limit, you will see problems if you ever get very
           large messages. my recipe follows --aaron
           \_ Good idea.  I get some log reports on the weekend which take a
              few minutes for my old box to grind through but since it's 2am
              or later when they show up I never bothered to limit the message
              size.
              \_ it really does help for large messages and makes your mail
                 system perform better under load or DoS --aaron
                 \_ already added your change right after I saw it.  thanks!

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
