That's too silly a reason to take it seriously. You just want to come up with all kinds of excuses for lame (email) users. If the guys finds a serious security problem he'll be able to send the message one way or the other. No need to do it from unprofessionaly setup MTAs. > > - Adam > I know you won't lose much when I get tired of spam [1] and unsubscribe from debian lists. Being a long time Redhat admin I wanted to "switch" to debian for some time. In order to become familiar with something new I decided to subscribe to the mailing lists and "listen" to what's going on for a while without asking the same questions others have asked before. Since I do not tolerate any level of spam I consider it immature to run a "professional mailing list" like debian security so that it can be abused by the most stupid script kiddie. Sorry but the impression I got so far is "semiprofessional". Cannot recommend it for use at work when people don't want to run serious/professional mailing lists. [1] received 4 more spams a moment ago. Don't need assassin to measure the level of frustration with deb lists. This is getting too silly so I'll stop here. Thanks for your time. -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
