That is nice, but I wouldnt want my servers doing that
with my mails. Even If Im personaly am vindicative with
getting all this spammers hanged :), I dont want other
people or some stupid server bots to do it for me.
Let the users deal with their mails, its their property,
its their responsibility. That is why user level filtering
like procmail comes in.
I was thinking about some cousins and friends who sometimes
send me those hilarious mails, that were prankly intended
to look like spams. I want to read them!, and I dont
want some stupid servers to block them or mess with them.
That is why SMTP filtering practices are discouraged.

Id prefer Seive filtering for readability.
just a simple:
if anyof (not addres :all:contains
["bc","cc","to"] "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
headere:matches "from"["[EMAIL PROTECTED]"]
{reject text:**PLOMK**}
would do.
But I dont do that, Its not my style. I love reading
everybodys posts. Even If they indirectly proclaim
themselves as kooks.

I think no one's picking on you here, Zaky Boy. Maybe,
but I didnt notice that on those last threads. Its just
that some people just want to proclaim themselves as
the inventor of VAX machines or some old time pdp11
guru's as much as you do.(I think its some natural human
behaviour, like dogs pissing on every posts, to proclaim
their superiority in a territory)
So you have to defend yourself and your posts.
aka. 'The truth will set you free' (naks)
Personaly, I'm a big fan of you and every penoys that
contributes to the linux commun. specialy the ones
doing it in FSG, like debian. Ive been diff'ing your
improvements since you *loudly proclaimed your adoption
of Metzlers bugs in d-mentors some months? ago. Although
I could see my own ideas in there, I just dont have the
time to sit my comp. too long and go contribute my mocking
in that code. (and I dont have probs with my printerUI:)
And I dont want to see some other people being descriminated
in some ng's/ml's by some forayngers, even calling them
names like 'asian-monkey programming' (believe me, Ive
seen it all).. as much as I dont want seing people
who act like tamed puppies in some 'superiour' groups,
then act like 'superiours' themselves when inside their
'homeland' group. (some real filipinoe classic)
So, good luck with your project (gtkpl). Im excited in
seing it in the next stable deb release.
and please dont _pretend_ like a kook, you dont deserve
that.
