Of course there is protection against it.

This is a good idea, and implemented to some degree in ASK. The problem is
that *nothing* is guaranteed to survive a reply. Adding a cookie to the body
of the email is not 100% foolproof, as there's no guarantee that the reply
will contain the cookie. Adding a specific header with the cookie will also
take us nowhere, as headers mostly discarded in replies. One option is the
Message-ID header, but my experiments showed that a large population of MUAs
(many versions of MS Out-Of-Luck, for instance) trash the Message-ID and
don't put it in the In-Reply-To field when responding to an email.
I was afraid you'd say something like this. :(
The only guaranteed way to know if an email is a reply to something you
sent is to use VERPs, but this creates enormous difficulties for users that
do not have full email control in their servers (users).
Acknowledged.
In any case, the original problem with the mailing list has nothing to do
with this, but rather with insanity of one of ASK's users.
ASK has a whitelist, an ignorelist and a blacklist. The blacklist sends back
a nastygram informing the user that we do not want to receive further
messages from him/her. Unfortunately (and yes, this is my fault), I never
imagined someone would add a mailing-list to his blacklist (sounds just too
insane, doesn't it?). Well, it happened, and I'm now dumping the blacklist
feature entirely to protect the community from people who use it incorrectly.
My original rant was based on two things:
1) You seemed to be unaware of a certain lesson from history[1].
2) Anything that claims to be a spam killer is going to attract
apoplectic and irrational people who will stop at nothing to sate their
desire for vigilante justice against spammers. Many of these people are
simply not mature enough to take into account the innocent bystanders
they may inconvenience by using your software to vent their spleens.
In my opinion, it was poor judgement on your part to hand people this
sort of loaded weapon. People *will* be insane. People *will* be
stupid. I realize you've already acknowledged that this was an error on
your part -- I am not trawling for an apology.
I would withdraw my objection if ASK as packaged in Debian will omit
whatever part of the code autoreplies with a nastygram. If dropping the
blacklist entirely will achieve that, then that's fine with me.
I don't want to try to micromanage how your code is written or how its
eventual Debian package maintainer does his or her job -- my position is
simply to exhort people (as strongly as I need to) not to make it easy for
idiots to attack Debian's mailing lists. Things that send automatic
replies to mail messages is, if not designed for abuse, easily perverted to
it -- if one doesn't take fairly elaborate precautions like the one I
described.
Thanks for your patience.
[1] From Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003) [jargon]:
ARMM
n.
[acronym, `Automated Retroactive Minimal Moderation'] A Usenet
{cancelbot} created by Dick Depew of Munroe Falls, Ohio. ARMM was
intended to automatically cancel posts from anonymous-posting sites.
Unfortunately, the robot's recognizer for anonymous postings
triggered on its own automatically-generated control messages!
Transformed by this stroke of programming ineptitude into a monster
of Frankensteinian proportions, it broke loose on the night of March
30, 1993 and proceeded to {spam} news.admin.policy with a recursive
explosion of over 200 messages.
ARMM's bug produced a recursive {cascade} of messages each of which
mechanically added text to the ID and Subject and some other headers
of its parent. This produced a flood of messages in which each header
took up several screens and each message ID and subject line got
longer and longer and longer.
Reactions varied from amusement to outrage. The pathological messages
crashed at least one mail system, and upset people paying line
charges for their Usenet feeds. One poster described the ARMM debacle
as instant Usenet history (also establishing the term {despew}),
and it has since been widely cited as a cautionary example of the
havoc the combination of good intentions and incompetence can wreak
on a network. The Usenet thread on the subject is archived here.
Compare {Great Worm}; {sorcerer's apprentice mode}. See also
{software laser}, {network meltdown}.

Furthermore, if critical files have changed, you'll get an email within a shorter notice. Systraq consists of few very small shell scripts. . It can help you implementing a not too strict security policy. For more demanding systems, you'd better use something like tripwire. Make sure you really want to do the monitoring this script offers: it might not comply with your site's privacy policy. Getting informed when users' config file change might be too intrusive. . Other similar tools are available in Debian (`diffmon' for instance), but systraq is less intrusive because it can warn for file changes without mailing a complete diff (which is not desirable for e.g. /etc/shadow). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It server a purpose similar to logcheck but does it in realtime, so it can be used as a nice way to implement alerts: programs log things, and you can get a mail (or a sms via a mail-to-sms gateway) as soon as bad things are spotted. It's been a very useful tool for me in my past job, and I took over maintenance from the previous maintainer. log2mail has been quite a critical application for us there. More than a year ago I quit that job, and I'm not using log2mail anymore. The package is in a pretty good shape and does not usually need much care: I did around one upload per year, and I just made one upload fixing all bugs, bringing the whole build system up to date and in line with the last standards-version, porting to cdbs. At the time I took over the package, upstream was happy to hand also upstream maintenance to me. The code is simple, linear and quite well written. At that time, upstream told me if I couldn't maintain log2mail anymore, he would take it back. Time has passed from there, and I sent him a mail asking him what he intends to do. I'm orphaning the package not because it's a burden, but because my other Debian activities are occupying most of my time already and I feel I can't commit to being a good maintainer for it anymore.
