Re: [newbie] Silly question concerning SPAM
In the file, /etc/mail/access, I enter either the: return address, or if its not a real one, then the ip address from whence it was sent, or the domain name of the server that it last came from, then as action to be taken, I choose to enter a line as such in /etc/mail/access : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ERROR:"550 Please stop spamming me" This bounces the dumb old poopy spam back to where it came from and the spammer then thinks, "Oh dangbusta poopybottom, that is not even a real address." and more than likely takes it off the list, but either way, you never see the dirty rotten yucky spam ever again. O yes don't forget to type service sendmail restart in a text terminal as the root user so the new setting will take effect.

I personally use junkfilter, however there are many many programs for this. I believe that almost all use procmail as the transporter of mail. You can edit there spam filters to do almost whatever you want. You can divert all filtered messages as SPAM to /dev/null (deleting them), however I have them just sent to a folder where I check now any then to see if any personal e-mails have gotten diverted wrongly. Seacht www.freshmeat.net for "SPAM filter", and it should tun up about 1000 proggies. > BTW : When browsing the web, it's a real PITA - for me anyway - to use > bandwith for idiotic ads, banners,pop-up windows, java-applets and other > stupid irrelevancies whenever trying to find some useful information. > Until I found the solution : The WebWasher !

Recommended ! I tried this too, however I do have my negative thoughts about this. Yes it does filter VERY well, giving a clean page, however loading of these clean pages takes about 1,5 times longer ~ Sometimes more. :-( Another thing is that, being the free version, it only allows you about 15 connections. If you are surfing drastically, and there are pages which do not hang (not fulling loading), these get counted as connections, and now and then I get the annoying screen saying something like "you have already reached your maximum number of connections... blaah blaah blaah" > How do YOU tackle spam ? - Bounce your head against the wall, use a > shotgun on the screen or pull the power-plug ? > > Kaj Haulrich Greetings Ralph Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Silly question - I don't know how to use man
Hello Thanks all for the suggestions regarding getting man to work. Here is what I tried: a) Re-installation of man softaware - It didn't work. b) Copy of somebody else's man.config to /etc/man.config. - It didn work. c) Use man as man -M /usr/man - it worked. The funniest thing about it is I don't know why man won't work. root@armagedon:/etc$ man -d Reading config file /etc/man.config found man directory /usr/man found man directory /usr/local/man found man directory /usr/X11R6/man found man directory /usr/lib/perl5/man found manpath map /bin --> /usr/man found manpath map /sbin --> /usr/man found manpath map /usr/bin --> /usr/man found manpath map /usr/sbin --> /usr/man found manpath map /usr/local/bin --> /usr/local/man found manpath map /usr/X11R6/bin --> /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /usr/bin/X11 --> /usr/X11R6/man found manpath map /usr/bin/mh --> /usr/man it sounds good, doesn't it?

Re: [newbie] Silly question - I don't know how to use man
Ed, At the time I first asnwered your message I was sitting at my Workstation at work. I hate to admit it, but it's not a Linux workstation. At this momemt I'm sitting at my PC at home. So, I pop open a terminal window and type in the command man procmail and guess what pops up? Yes, you guessed it. The man page for procmail. What version of Linux Mandrake are you running? Not that I really think it's going to matter cause I get the feeling that it would still be in there if the program is on your system. I think that is the important part. Making sure it's installed on your system. You can know for sure by issuing the command whereis procmail that will tell you where it is if it exists on your system. -- Mark I love my Linux Box...
