5/22    I'm a new sysadm. I'm trying to collect as many spam mails as I
        can to build the ultimate sa-learn (spamassassin) database. I'd
        like to use this ultimate database to filter out ALL spams, once
        and for all, for all of my users. What's the best way to collect
        as many spam mails as possible? Thanks.
        \_ "once and for all"? so, would your users still be able to check
           the spam for false matches?
        \_ A collegue of mine has some pretty good, mature anti-spam
           mechanisms in lace after playing with various combos.  I'll be glad
           to put you in touch with him if you post your name.  -John
        \_ Spam changes over time.  If it was possible to do what you're doing
           as a one time event it would've been done already.

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        I'm wondering if SpamAssassin is obsolete (and my procmailrc and scripts)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
