If someone is to Joe-Job me then I'd rather that mailing lists bounce the messages, if it gets bad I could filter out all mailing list messages temporarily. If someone Joe-Jobbing me results in messages from me getting delivered to mailing lists then that would be worse than having the lists bounce them IMHO (before you ask, I've been Joe-Jobbed before). When someone else gets Joe-Jobbed I'd rather deal with the spam using DNSBL and spam-assasin to protect myself. For spam that gets through that I would rather just report it to SpamCop myself than add to the problems of the poor sod who's being Joe-Jobbed. > Viruses can and should be filtered out before they reach the C-R system. True, that's one of the things that should be in large warnings on any C-R system in Debian. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
