Hi! This is my maiden post here, but folks here who also are on the MailScanner list will know my name -- and I see that the esteemed Dr. Khera is here, too. He'll be glad to know that I now have a more capable machine running MailScanner and SPamAssassin, and that he can stop throttling stuff back when he sends to my day job. I was one of the targets of a pretty intense joe-job between 2002/09/25 and 2002/11/06, and have 11987 messages archived to show it. The bounces were of no real benefit, of course, and the ISPs from which the bounces came weren't especially helpful, either. The *REAL* help came from the people who complained to me and/or asked to be removed from my mailing list; they, with only a few exceptions, accepted my explanation and sent me the full headers of the mail about which they were complaining. It really, really helped to have a prepared explanation saved as a file, so that when I responded to a gripe, I could just :r the file into my edit session inside mutt. -- Mike Andrews [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tired old sysadmin since 1964 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
