6/30    Fucking spammers. Even after using spamassassin and using sa-learn
        on every single spam I get, I still get about 10 a day. I seriously
        hope those guys get a nice ass raping in jail.
        \_ Thanks for sharing.
        \_ I firmly believe that the only solution to the spam problem will be
           vigilantism.  And I mean hiring a guy named Vinny to go break a
           spammer's thumbs.
                \_ fuck vinny, send in the special forces
           \_ We used to talk about this in grad school a lot, going to find
              the script kiddies who broke into our machines. We thought we'd
              figure out who it is (== snot-nosed 14 year old from Ohio),
              take a roadtrip, and surprise the kid's parents when they'd
              come home and find their kid duct-taped, spreadeagled, upside
              down attached to their garage door.
              \_ Cf. The Big Lebowski
              \_ why are you workstations on public net?  NAT is exists in
                 part to protect people like you from yourselves on the
                 dangerous public network you're not ready for.
           \_ You can still click a mouse without a thumb.
              \_ "If you disable your enemy's hand, he cannot press a button.
                  Medic!".
        \_ I run something that works.  All that's slipped through in the
           last month are 3 0 body messages and 2 spams.  So keep looking,
           maybe you'll find a spam filter that works for you.
        \_ I use SA.  About 1 spam per week makes it to my inbox.  The rest
           goes to my spam folder.  About 1 ham per month gets in the spam box.
           \_ You manually go search for ham among hundreds of messages?

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
