RE: Hebrew spam: what to do about it?
Indeed it's legal. When the anti-spam law was passed, a special exemption was put in to allow politicians to send spam. IIRC, this was Leiberman's initiative.

Second, disallowing non-commercial spam may be regarded as an act against freedom of speech, and such an act may not pass Bagatz.

Moshe Gorohovsky wrote: Hi All, How do I identify linux-il messages? That depends on why you want to identify them. If it's because you want them to go to a different folder, then you will need to disable an option on the mailing list server. The option is called nodups. If you disable it, you will get two email messages for discussions you participate in. One from the list and one directly from the person who replied to you. Obviously, only the one from the list will have the headers. To change your mailing list setting, follow the link at the bottom of each message from the list.

Re: Identifying linux-il messages
Hi, Herouth Maoz wrote: That's not a message from linux-il. That's a message to which linux-il was CCed. The powers in charge of this mailing list encourage people to use Reply-to-all when answering messages to the list. As a result, you get a direct message from the person who is writing (if you are in the recipient/sender list of the original message). When the list software sees that it has been CCed to a message that was sent directly to you, it refrains from sending you its own copy, so you get only one copy (although this can be changed). Messages that were not addressed to you but come directly from the list have many additional headers. Personally, I rely on the List-Id header to filter the list. However, this strategy means that you cannot filter all messages that relate to the list. Only the ones that were not addressed to you. Discussions in which you have involved yourself will end up in your inbox. For some reason, the list owners consider this to be a GOOD thing. I consider it to be very annoying, but I have no say in the matter... Herouth Thanks mmm... I think, I found a way to put these linux-il-related messages to a separate folder: Define a filter that moves all messages with List-Id header or with CC header that contain 'linux-il' to the folder.

Herouth Maoz wrote: I consider it to be very annoying, but I have no say in the matter... No, that's not true. The last time the matter was seriously discussed (i.e. - before this time) the matter was put to a vote, and this (the current settings) came out as the preferred solution by the list members. As such, each time the matter was raised since was somewhat considered a rehash of an old discussion. It was this, rather than any scheming done by the evil list admins (not to mention that Ely, who is the only true admin for this list, does not appear to have any strong opinion on the matter), that is the reason this discussion did not result in any actual change to the list's configuration. I happen to know that the most vocal opinion is not always also the most accepted one. Personally, I have no objection to putting the matter up for a vote again.

[OFFTOPIC] RE: Hebrew spam: what to do about it?
From the contents of a relatively unfiltered mailbox (which fortunately is not widely advertised and I check it only once each few weeks), Leiberman indeed uses very much the political exemption. I got in that mailbox a lot of spam from: * Israel Beitanu (Leiberman's party) - sends tons of spam. No wonder he obtained the exemption, presumably already then he planned on utilizing this method of getting votes. * The party of the disabled (מפלגת הנכים) are spammers as well. * Israel Hazaka (Dr. Ephraim Sneh) are spammers as well. I already blogged about my annoyance at a party which I'd support otherwise but are now taboo because they are spammers (the party of the disabled). --- Omer On Sun, 2009-02-08 at 10:25 +0200, ronys wrote: Indeed it's legal.

Re: OFFTOPIC: Re: Hebrew spam: what to do about it?
Tal Kaplan, from pczlaw, was kind enough to give me a detailed explanation(*) about this matter. First, to answer both Dotan and Boaz, it should be a relatively simple process to get 1,000 NIS for every incoming hebrew spam. Think about it as a gift from a stranger. The process is documented on the isoc site (link was given in some other post in this thread). Remember you have to prove very little (that you got the spam) while they have to prove a lot (that you gave them permission to send you spam. They need to actually PROVE it). Second, involving a lawyer will not help - you need to sue in small claims court, since the 'hashaom' court will look at you strangely if you come claiming such a small sum. Neither hashalom nor small claims court set precedence so it doesn't really matter. The cost (legal and otherwise) in small claims is much lower. So for all these reasons small claims is the way to go unless you are going to file a TVIA IZUGIT which you probably don't want to do unless you have a lot of free time. The only down side is that in small claims you have to file and appear yourself, without a lawyer. This is basically the reason I haven't done it yet. I'm saving my gifts^H^H^H^H^Hhebrew spam in a special folder for when I will have a few free hours to put it in the isoc tempate and go to small claims to file it. Spam keeps piling up in it and it gives me the feeling of a piggy bank. Oh, how things have turned. (*) This is the explanation as I remember it. If there are inaccuracies it is probably my bad memory and not Tal's fault. - Aviram On Sunday 08 February 2009 11:16:41 Boaz Rymland wrote: Similarly, due to time constraints I'm not currently performing any active steps with the several spam emails that I have received lately, all from some coaching/spiritual spammer.
