Re: Offensive Language
I agree that I have heard language I would consider offensive just a few years in recent ads and TV shows, still startles me. But Darrens issue is not the language, it is all the filters in place at many subscribers locations which generate email back to Darren for each offensive word. Tell you what, if you are volunteering to deal with each of those companies to update their filter lists, we'll have Darren forward all that email to you.

Re: offensive language
It is hard to avoid giving offense to these filters, and I don't thinlk we should try to do so. I recently found that I was not receiving emails from my travel agent; and after pushing text through the filter in question token by token I discovered that it was coughing at the token 'specialist'. Why? If contains the offensive substring 'cialis'. Minimally, Darren will have to make an unautomated decision that an instance of 'offensive language' is of the sort that would be judged inappropriate by a standard Nice Nelly.

I have no say over the spam/porn/naughty word filter in use here, nor do I know whether or not the filter sent a nasty-gram back to Darren or if the filter simply dropped the offending messages. Both actions are wrong, but at least the second hurts only you. The correct way to handle a message that they don't like is to give a 5xx reply code during the SMTP transaction. Why should I then be ostracized over something I have no control over Google for quarantine. Why should Darren or the list readership be flooded by backscatter that they have no control over? It makes the most sense to send it back to the person who actually sent in the offending message. They can't do that. Since spammers routinely forge addresses in envelopes and headers, what backscatter mostly does is to send complaints to persons who did *not* send the offending messages. Backscatter is, in fact, a form of unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE), AKA spam. Besides, if Darren did what you suggested, IBM-MAIN would be flooded with messages asking are there problems with IBM-MAIN because I'm not getting any messages. Are you arguing that Darren should block the offending mail server entirely? I can live with that, although a heads-up to the postmaster would be nice. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: Overhead of SMF Records
I vaguly remember reading a paper (about 7 or 8 years ago) where somebody turn off SMF recording and saw no measureable difference in CPU utilziation. As other have said the overhead is in collecting infromation needed to create the record and creating the record. Some system will do everything needed to create the record, including actually creating it and then pass to SMF. If SMF is not configured to write it, it won't. Some systems you can tell not to create SMF records, but even those will still collect/track the information needed, they just don't create the record. Joel Wolpert wrote: Please do not laugh. My management is asking me how much overhead is consumed by z/OS for processing the SMF records. I have no idea. Has anyone ever researched this and can share some info on it. Thanks in advance.

Re: 3270 Emulator for Mac OS X - Japanese
I've been searching Google without much success. Anybody know of a 3270 emulator that 1) works on the Mac OS X platform and 2) supports Japanese character sets? IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand does. http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/hostondemand Runs on all sorts of clients, actually: Macintosh, Linux, Windows, OS/2, etc. The multi-language support is quite slick. You can run Japanese (including translated menus and help) on an English system, English on a Japanese system, just Japanese characters in the 3270 screens (but English menus) -- lots of permutations. And you can switch between languages really easily without reinstalling. My favorite place to install Host On-Demand is on the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS. My next most favorite is to install it on an HTTP server running on mainframe Linux. I have installed it (just for grins) on a Macintosh HTTP server. As a matter of fact it was an old Motorola 68040-based Macintosh. It worked.
