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 and then forwarding to where I really want it from there. don't know why I feel compelled to share my kludge. -top \_ Stop bitching and ask someone on root. I've emailed asking if this was intentional. Also, storing mail on soda has been deprecated for the past year and a half. Man up and .forward it already. \_you misunderstand. I *have* been forwarding it already. (for quite a long time). But filtered I sent it through spamc first avoiding, among other problems, loops caused by my anti-spam service bouncing it when it is spam), now i am forwarding it twice!) \_ Apparently spamd was never even set up. \_ spamassassin used to work, back in the day. \_ back in the day when the roads in berkeley to silicon valley venture funds were paved in gold, every startup IPOd and moore's law worked |

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 really need. I esp. hope it happens to people who advertise cigarettes, promote alcohol, and gambling. I hope it also happens to all diamond marketing folks. And luxury car marketing folks. Actually, I hope ALL marketing people die the same fate. \_ What about sales people? How do you feel about them? \_ So the marketing guys at my startup (who are trying to figure out which sector we should sell our storage software product to) should, in your opinion, kill themselves? Truly you are a prince among men. Keep up the good work there, twit. \_ He was sentenced to only 21 months in a "prison" with dormitory housing. Why bother escaping? |

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 too. Just go to the office and hand it to him. \_ send him a drink on facebook. \_ I'm sure it will have the same effect. \_ I'm trying to push next-gen root staff to set up the web server, which is why it's taking so long ;) I'll light a fire via email... |

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 keg will no longer be a problem. There might still be a few hiccups with getting NFS4 working, though. At this point I believe we're just waiting for EECS to unblock the port on the firewall for the new machine doing mail. We're now using postfix. --t keg will no longer be a problem.

6/23 why do women's razors work better on my face than men's razors? is it because i'm azn? \_ Asian men have "finer" figures that are more similar with Caucasian women. In fact, many Caucasian women have MORE hair than Asian men. \_ What part of your face? Beard or facial hair? \_ I'm asian. what beard? im talking about the hair above my upper lip. \_ What razors are you comparing? Because a thin cartidge probably is what's most important. Those 4 blade monstrosities are make it really hard to shave under the nose. \_ Women's razor handles are often shaped differently for different gripping. Maybe you're just holding your face razor wrong? Or maybe you should replace your cartridge more often? \_ "What azn razor and white razor? There is no azn razor! I demand \_ "Azn razor? White razor? There is no azn razor! I demand the same razor!!" \_ You are a girly man. \_ Interesting. Every woman I've been with has preferred to use my razor. Overall, men's razors are better quality. I presume it's because faces are more sensitive than legs. From my experience (using womens' razors when I had to) I don't like womens' razors at all. \_ I'd rather think it's because men's razor market is bigger, such that it can support bigger competitors who can invest more in research. |

4/17 How do I get procmail to delete emails with things like ^Viiiaaaagggrrra in the message body. ^V then i+ then a+ ... \- a better rule would be to check for the language type, and if it's undeterminable or has too many misspellings then it's most likely spam email. ps i'm gay ok thx. \_ Thatd be some pretty impressive regex magic, to get all imaginable misspellings. Like say vlagkra... \_ I don't mean all misspellings. I mean some numbers of Vs followed by some number of Is and so on. \_ Don't do this. You're just reinventing the wheel, poorly. Instead, run your mail through spamassassin or ASware of your choice which can add spam tagged headers to your mail and sort/delete based on that. There are tons of docs on how to do this with procmail out there. |

3/10 Is there a reliable way to control spam on soda? Can someone write an "any undergrad can do it" level FAQ? Thanks. \_ echo "/dev/null" > ~/.forward \_ I use Thunderbird to check my soda mail. \_ Forward to gmail. Let google's spam filter work for you. \_ I use spamassassin. I just checked and it caught all but one of the 358 (!) pieces of spam I was mailed today. I only had two legit emails though, so perhaps answer #1 is better for me. I actually forward my csua email to google, as well, which does further filtering. http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsedViaProcmail for how to install spamassassin and procmail. -ausman |

6/28 Q: What are folks using these days for anti-spam measures? I'm looking for something that integrates with my MTA (postfix) or my delivery agent (sieve). Currently I'm using a crufty version of spamassassin wired into postfix via amavisd-new. It's decent, but I don't want to be bothered with manually upgrading spamassassin or updating rulesets on a regular basis. Anyone have any experience with DSPAM or Spamassassin plus some kind of automated rules updater? Are there any new open-source anti-spam tools ftw? -dans \_ I just let Thunderbird do the job. \_ I'm doing almost exactly what you're doing, plus I scan the mail log in real time and permanently firewall block any IP that is reported as having a high spam score and doesn't have a reverse IP. I've got about 8000 IPs blocked and get very little spam these days. YMMV. |
