search for mpkg-j2sdk and use a *-bin download. This will hopefully
become teh defauld method for installing a unfree java. See
debian-java for the discussion about this subject...

Not everybody is online all the time. I've disabled my 'non local' SA
tests and I would pay too much for downloading all the swen crap

swen has a build in filter for the string 'spam'... Unfortunatelly it
was too late to switch my public mailadresse to something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unfortnatelly this will not prevent any 'real' spammer to get your
emailadress. Both get caught by spamassassin, but real spammer at
least don't sent 140kb...

You love tabs? Opera had them first :) And mouse gestures, too.

And it has a search.ini, where you can add nice things like 
[...]
Name=Debian F&ile
URL=http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%s&searchmode=sea
rchfiles&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386&directories=yes
[...]
although is suspect, that that is also possible with mozilla/konqueror.

Try opera. It has the possibility to change the keybindings (down in
the .opera/*ini files). Basic bash/jed keystrokes like

Re: fetchmail and mailfilter

Is the file readable by user 'fetchmail'? Is there a logfile? If yes,
this file must be writeable for user 'fetchmail'. 

I set up my mailfilter with 
-rw---1 fetchmail root   /etc/mailfilterrc
and my logfile points to 
# ls -la /var/log/mailfilter
drwxr-xr-x2 fetchmail root 4096 2003-09-25 08:04 .
-rw---1 fetchmail nogroup 27113 2003-09-25 13:38 log
-rw---1 fetchmail nogroup 10272 2003-09-25 08:01 log.1.gz
(I also setup a logrotate for it)

The fetchmail line is:
preconnect "/usr/bin/mailfilter --mailfilterrc=/etc/mailfilterrc 
--logfile=/var/log/mailfilter/log"
(in one line)

You can test the whole by running 'su fetchmail -c "mailfilter ..." as
root.

I would be happy then :) -> .de

This might be true on a webpage or any other things. With nntp, you
have the xover command, which will give you MID, From and some other
headers, but not the Reply-To: header and not the body. Getting the
whole article is much more expensive (whole headers + body). Therfore
some usenet user (de.ALL at least...) are using a
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in their From: and a frequently 
read address in the 'Reply-To:'.

-> Spammers (mostly) get the 'not read' address, anybody, who wants to
mail you privatly after reading your article will get the Reply-To:
address.

Anyway, I don't mind anymore with SpamAssassin...

I'm reading the ML as 'gmane.linux.debian.user' and I think I also
have 'linux.debian.user' in my list.

The first handles postings to the Newsgroup quite well, the latter is
AFAIK not as good.

-> news.gmane.org
-> www.gmane.org

Hallo!

* Steve Lamb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

So use a 'Reply-To:' with your 'used and read' email address. Spammers
usually get only the 'XOver', which only has the From: in it, so they
won't see your Reply-To: Email. 

I use a gmx.de address for this mail (actually a little bit more
complicated...), which runs SpamAssassin on their server (almost all
german freemail provider started this service during the last two
month). The From: mail is also read, but after stricter filtering
with SA. All the mails are then forwarded to my regular email address,
which I use as a pop3 account. I also use SA with bayes learning (cron
script, mutt macros for passing spam on) and 'see' currently about one
spammail per week (about 30 Spams per day). Another 100/week are
filtered out at gmx.

Just as a sidenote: I usually don't bother to read a mailaddress or
sigs, when I reply to a mail, but just hit 'reply'. And I usually try
only once to contact someone. So if a mail bounces about a 'nospam'
mail address, I don't care. If someone doesn't care to recieve mails...

RTFM :)

zless /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-src/README.Debian.gz
less /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-src/README.Debian

I found the debian way a really painless way...
