Re: [hlds_linux] Spammers harvesting from this list?
If you're a gmail user, you can set up a label and track that way. For instance, my address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I can create a label named HLDS. Then I can give out the address [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it automatically goes in the HLDS label (basically its own folder). If I get mail from anyone other than the list, I'll know where they got their information from. I'm sure there's a way to setup some sort of filter, too, but I'm too lazy to even change my address for the HLDS label. --Craig (ping) On 11/20/05, ScratchMonkey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --On Sunday, November 20, 2005 6:39 PM -0800 Ook [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have SpamAssassin also, but it's not reliable enough - it misses a lot of spam, and every now and then tags a legit email.

Then I can give out the address [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it automatically goes in the HLDS label (basically its own folder). This is a standard feature of sendmail. If your ISP uses sendmail, you've got this capability. Sendmail ignores the plus sign and everything after it when comparing for a username. It then hands the message to a delivery agent to put it in the mailbox. On Red Hat systems (including Fedora) this is typically procmail, and procmail can deliver to folders based on what comes after the +. So just try sending yourself a message with a plus sign and something after your name and see if it works. Chances are, your ISP runs sendmail and Bob's your uncle. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

RE: [hlds_linux] Spammers harvesting from this list?
Well the best thing to do, would be setup an email address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then setup a filter rule, checking that only emails where the TO address contains hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com are accepted. Outlook 2003 does quite a good job filtering out rubbish.
