Well, it wasn’t my spam filter but the original poster. I thought spam filtration was based more on black / whitelisted IP addresses and then the proper construction of the message with valid from servers and reverse DNS and all that jazz. I didn’t think they actually got in to the message pay

primarily yes, but since IPs aren’t always static and reverse DNS is easily spoofable there are some that do use exact message makeup from a blacklist and others that do phrase matching, not saying all work the same however. That being said if I was going to phish for a password I might send out

Well, hopefully IPV6 will help with some of this since there won’t be any more NAT and individual allocations are a lot more likely or possible. At a minimum, most people will migrate to static. Still though you make excellent points. Thanks for expanding on the topic. > On May 12, 2016, at

So Dora, how good is your Hindi? Chinese any better? Vietnamese then? Most people speak english to some degree, I believe it’s about 78% of the world’s population but for most of the world it is not their primary language. SO I give them credit for being able to speak more than one language.

Weird. I can reproduce the issue. I even tried opening the inspector up as a separate window, but that just let me get a bit further down before focus moved away from the source. Seems like a bug. CB On 5/10/16 4:16 PM, Jeff Berwick wrote: Hi all, I have the developer menu turned on in Safar
