Huh?

Should they forbid people (in this case marketers) to evaluate their
opportunities? The same arguments we have to use TB! apply to them.
Should that mean RITLabs should take out all the good stuff, include
some bad stuff just to make it harder to write e-mails because some
folks e-mail spam?

It's a bit like outlawing chef's knifes because they could be used to

Re: Skipping parts not interesting

2002-07-28 Thread Miguel A. Urech

Hello Adam,

 Speaking of which, what proportion of folks do skip threads entirely
 on such basis? Versus reading all mail.

I do.

 I'd be curious. And I wonder too what ya do with threads with a bunch
 of Unread status indicators, sort of glaring at you.  And liable to
 pull you back towards them depending how you're advancing to new mail.

In general I Shift+Ctrl+M to mark the whole thread as read. For
example, I'm not interested at all in PGP or antivirus plugins for TB.
So, if the word PGP is in the subject, or AVP, or NOD, or NAV, etc
Shift+Ctrl+M.

If from the subject I can't tell at first glance, I may read the first
message or two. If not interested, I Shif+Ctrl+M and mark the messages
as Ignored. That is, assign to Ignore Colour Group (light gray), and
add the subject to my Ignore filter, which marks the messages as Read
and Ignored as they come in.

Re[2]: Norton Anti Virus 2001 and TheBat

2002-07-28 Thread Kurgan

Hello Sudip,


SP Things are not that self-explanatory. You still have to change your
SP TB! settings to route the incoming mails through NAV's POPROXY module.
SP See my message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

   I never once had to do that. I only turned on email scanning in NAV
   and it worked. Never had to do anything to TB. (I'm referring to
   NAV 2001 and prior.) 2002 is even simpler than that. Love it. :)

SP Why does it get annoying? If you mean the dialog box that pop's up on
SP outbound mail scanning, there's an option, in later builds, to turn it
SP off.

   Yep, that's what I was suggesting he do. Scanning outbound mail is,
   to me, redundant, assuming NAV is doing its job in the first place,
   and that stupid splash/banner (which cannot be turned off if the
   outbound scanning is on) drives me crazy (I get/send a lot of
   email).

A on such basis?

Me. For example. If there's a thread I'm absolutely not interested in
I do remember the subject (most times) and if there are unread
messages in that thread I mark the whole thread read.
Why reading 20+ mail, aggregated over night, if they deal with a topic
I'm not interested in? In my daily newspaper I skip the sports pages;
Because I'm not interested in. If I had a choice I'd leave them out in
the exemplar delivered to me, but I haven't. Same with mailing lists:
I have no choice to say: Hey, this thread: not to me., so I have to
mark them read.
If this one list would be the only one I'm reading: OK, maybe I'd
'invest' the time and read nevertheless. But I'm subscribed to several
lists, not only TB!, but technical stuff needed for my work, etc. So
why 'wasting' my time with reading mails of no interest for me?
There are enough mails left to be read, even without this few :-)

AdG If only to avoid the possibility of posing a very silly question

1.) I'm one of the 'more advanced' users, so I do post really seldom a

2.) There's an archive. If I _really_ would have a question I'm able
to search the archive (first my private one, than the online
archive) if this topic was already handled.
And this method is quite more useful than reading every mail,
simply because chances are high you don't remember a very specific
topic that was handled 3 months ago only because you've read the
mails regarding to it. So a search in archives is obligatory. Now
if the search can't be avoided to be sure, why flooding your brain
with reading every single message you're currently _not_
interested in

Creating a different Address book for other purposes

2002-07-28 Thread Joyce Sala

Hello TBUDL listers,

I've  been  following the thread about anti-spam measures and I too wanted
to  create  a  separate  address  book for spam addresses (actually, I
thought it might be handy to have Work vs Personal AB too).

Yet,  no  matter  what I did, I could not get to have two separate AB,
with  different  lists  in  them:  what ever corrections I'd do in one
would  be  acarried  over  to the other one, so that I'd always end up
having two-three-four identical AB.

Can  any  one  help  me  please  by  giving methe correct step-by-step
procedure to make two _independent_ ABs, please?

TIA

I am too. I am tried to reproduce you situation - no success.

Only thing that I have  - after playing with filenames and AB names -
when I open AB with filename spam - i saw test :-). And its contents
is different from those that i have before deleting AB spam :-).

Ideas:
TheBat caches contents of AB - so even you change something - it does
not mean that you will see changes :-). Maybe restart will helps.

Delete and Open all AB: The  Bat!,  Spamz, and Test (files are not
deleted actually - at least until TB is running) and check name of AB
and filename.

part):

SU Only one question: Is spam prohibited by law? :-).

Spam in general? In Germany some kind of 'Spam' is prohibited ...
unfortunately not E-Mail-Spam per se.
At least not as 'Spam', only from a commercial point of view you can
be judged if you practice UCE and therefor engage an 'advantage in
business' over your competitor. Really complex thing.

SU Until not - all measures like filtering by ISP are illegal :-).

Not per se.

SU Only thing is legal - filtering on receiver side- it is your mail and
SU you can do with it what you want.

No. Because it might be 'your e-mail' (albeit I'm not sure about the
possession on an e-mail, especially _before_ you receive it; it might
be still possession of sender), BUT: you're using infra structure of
your ISP. He offers the ability to receive mail through _his_
technical devices. And if he decides to take care of possible abuse of
his infra structure you can't prohibit this.
If you loose important and valuable e-mail because you didn't know of
this 'protection' you might be able to charge him because you could
not take action of informing the sender when sending important things.
Emphasis: you _might_.
You can use your role as customer to make him thinking about his
practice by telling him it's inacceptable your mail being dropped and
if he continues _his_ spam filters you have to change to somebody not
doing so, but you can't prohibit him trying to protect his
infrastructure. For the same reason you can't judge him for installing
a firewall and enforcing you using his proxy for security reason, IF
you don't have a contract that tells explicitly about free and
complete access to internet. In that case you can of course claim an
unfiltered, unblocked access, else you'Ve to life with maybe blocked
connections (e.g. firewall blocking connections unusual port) or other
'side effects'.

SU P.S. As  i know - you can not skip ads at the beginning of DVD film.
SU Or I am wrong.

You can't. Because DVD format tells you don't have access before
Root-menu is loaded ... Except you're able to 'Stop' or 'Eject' the
DVD. But if your player would be able to call Root-menu directly no
one could blame you. Because this _IS_ your DVD and you can do
whatever you want with it (except copyright issues and so on). You can
eat it, you can throw it through your room, you can paint on it; what
ever you like to do. You can even nail it to your wall and start to
smile every time you stand in front of it. You _possess_ this DVD. You
don't possess the infra structure of your ISP, you're leasing _it's
use_, not even 'itself'.

P.S.: If there're small inaccuracies in my accomplishments that don't
turn the overall meaning by 180° please excuse them, I'm don't had a
study of justice :-)

One comment here: I had to look around quite a bit, as there are
several places where to change fonts. For the editor you have to use
one menu path, for the folder list another, and for the message list
another altogether. Additional access to all these functionalities
under a single menu item Fonts... (maybe in the Options menu) would

 Only one question: Is spam prohibited by law? :-).

Depends where you are in the world.  Many states over in the US
currently have anti-spam laws in place, which a lot of spammers like to
flaunt, and say they comply to them, stating invalid references to acts
that don't exist.

 Until not - all measures like filtering by ISP are illegal :-).

Read your ISPs AUP.  They provide a service to you, and expect you to
follow some rules they setup, if they say sending UCE is against the
policies, they can do whatever they like.  Plus there have been numerous
cases over here in the US where Spam itself isn't particularly illegal
in one state, but a system administrator took a certain person to court
for wasting his time having to deal with spam instead of his usual work.
He won! ;)

 Only thing is legal - filtering on receiver side- it is your mail and
 you can do with it what you want.

Most ISPs don't actually filter mail anyway, too much work for them to
do.  They may impose some basic filtering to stop some open relaying
etc, but most don't filter spam... if they did, I wouldn't get quite as
much spam as I do now ;)  Another point would be that some people enjoy
getting 'adult spam' purely for... well... if I have to explain that, I
think this would be a useless point.  If ISPs started blocking that kind
of spam, a lot of people on subscribed adult lists may get a little
upset.

 P.S. As  i know - you can not skip ads at the beginning of DVD film.

You can here, but you cannot skip over the FBI Legal copyright warning

Not necessarily by IP address, but I can do that if I wished.  Most

No, you bought a DVD, containing ads (teasers) and a movie. Without
the teasers the DVD would probably more expensive, because they  would
have to run the teasers (sometimes called trailers for some reason I
don't understand) on more TV stations to promote the next movie. That
would cost them money.

The first 15-20 minutes of time I spend in a cinema consists of ads
and teasers in order to keep the admission fee reasonable.

But spam is something else. I get this not because it makes my online

The original message in this thread seems to lend itself to the promotional

it couldn't connect to a server, since I understand (and would
want) some notification if it wasn't connecting. When I'm not in

Occasionally servers have some temporary difficulties and it's
sort of a pain to have to go and set it to not check while a

Hello Sergey,

On Sunday, July 28, 2002 at 5:36:03 PM you [SU] wrote (at least in
part):

SU Filtering by X-Sender is a dead way. And who will be loosers in
SU this battle - I know - TB! users :-)
[X-Sender = X-Mailer, already corrected on list]

But that's no discussion point if ISP filtering for spam is illegal.
Filtering for X-Mailer has to be done with the same precision and
caution as filtering for 'From'.

Take me for example. I administer several mail servers. And all of
them carry a 'badmailfrom' file. If any of the addresses in that file
is in 'Envelope-From' the mail is plainly rejected.
I only have to take care what addresses are in there, else it would be
simply carelessness but not illegal. Our customer we're administer the
server for would cancel the contract if I put in to many addresses
there, but he's thankful I _do_ put addresses there. The same with a
'badrcptto'. Everyday there's a mail to a non-existing address. One?
Several! No problem ... if the bounces can be delivered.
But there're some addresses reused again and again, albeit they never
existed and will never exist. So a careful filled 'badrcptto' file
will avoid the damn double bounces I usually get ... at least reduce
them significant. Putting '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' into this file would make
me loose my job, OK; but nevertheless this filter is, used carefully,
a good thing.

And all this applies to X-Mailer too.

E.g. filtering for

X-Mailer: This String with the phrase The Bat! in it was never used by an official 
RITLabs The Bat! release

as SPAM protection, if one figured out a spam utility used this faked
header is a good thing. If it really helps, or if the e.g. spelling
mistake is corrected in next version of this tool is another story.
The only thing BAD about the filter practise we're discussing is: An
ISP filtered for 'X-Mailer' contains 'The Bat!'. This is stupid, as
there at with a chance of 100% more false positives than correctly
filtered mails but it doesn't make this less legal than blocking e.g.
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as 'Envelope-From' or denying connections
from IP-Address-of-a-known-open-relay-that-it-used-by-spammers.

AR Skipping ads at the beginning of a DVD is a technical issue.

SU But it is spam :-). I bought film, not ads :-).

No. You bought a DVD. The content is mainly a film (you're interested
in, else you wouldn't have bought the DVD).
If you're not able to skip the ads part (which is of course intended)
this is a technical issue with your player. If your player could skip:
fine for you.

SU Other words - spamming is just technical issue too :-).

No. Spamming is using foreign resources without having requested
permission. Spamming (done by others) harms me, my ISP and probably
many others involved in transporting the mail.
The ads on DVD don't. They cost you some seconds or minutes of time
when you're nevertheless resting and taking 90 or 120 minutes of your
time to see a movie. It's not the ads come 'stand alone' and you're
only able to see the ads _instead_ of the movie.

See it like Yahoo-Ads on e.g. TBOT. You get a mail and there's an
advertisement in its footer.
You get the ad while you're getting a mail nevertheless.

Re: OT - AB for spammers

2002-07-28 Thread Peter Palmreuther

Hello Thomas,

On Sunday, July 28, 2002 at 6:27:54 PM you [TF] wrote (at least in
part):

TF I wonder by now whether chinanet or this other ISP in Brasil care...

For sure they don't. Unless these mails come to their mailboxes.
I do reject mails from servers listed in some black lists. The server
admins for sure don't care as this is an automated process they're not
involved in. The bounces generated got to addresses which are most the
time non-existent, so not their issue too. If they're somehow clever
they've set up their system for double bounces going to a black hole
(I did and I'm quite more happy this way).

So the only chance something changes is: complaining, complaining,
complaining. Some days ago somebody wanted to contact us. His mail was
not accepted because his ISPs mail server was listed in a RBL. He
called, we checked, he complained at his ISP (a small one, so maybe
this way everything was solved this fast), the ISP checked, we double
checked and set him on a white list until he the server was unlisted.
The ISPs MTA was not even a direct open relay, but a multi-hop open
relay. He would not have noticed it if not somebody would have
complained about not being able to send mail to some people.

A Chinese postmaster of a server used by spammers will maybe not even
take note of complaining mails like e.g. Spamcop sends. Have a look at
Spamcop bounce statistics ... a lot of '@devnull.spamcop.net'
addresses. But that doesn't matter as long as I don't get the spam
because of blocking his server.
If there's anybody using this server and has legal issues and is
blocked by me he will complain at his postmaster. If the postmaster
still don't care he has lost a customer (in most cases), because
everybody that got hit in the past by our RBL understood our setup. IF
he wanted to contact use normally and not by sending spam.

SP the default POP and SMTP ports, thereby eliminating the need to
SP configure a MUA.


  Yes. All I did, and this is on multiple installs, so I know it's not

Look at the headers, and check to see if it has a:

Content-Type: text/html

or a:

Content-Type: text/plain

I think you'll probably find it is the second, and it is the sender's
problem.  I get them all the time, and it's mainly spam where they have
tried to construct an HTML message, and just pasted it over into a mail

No. It is the right of every subscriber, but not the duty. I

it goes a way that I am not interested in, I don't have an
obligation to follow the thread any further. That is my

Thanks, Thomas ... I'm still not sure our leg isn't being pulled

To set your mind at ease: it was not my intention to pull

 on). I wouldn't even mind a dialog box within the Bat saying that
 it couldn't connect to a server, since I understand (and would
 want) some notification if it wasn't connecting. When I'm not in
 the Bat though I hate having to deal with the beep that comes up.
 Occasionally servers have some temporary difficulties and it's
 sort of a pain to have to go and set it to not check while a
 temporary problem is occurring.

This subject has come up before, and I have the same problem from time
to time.  The problem seems to be that TB has a fairly short timeout
of 30 seconds, which is not adjustable.  My ISP struggles to respond
within this timeout at peak times, so I got a lot of bleeps.

As the the solution, there is not one at present, other than turning
off the Windows sound for Exclamation.  The longer term ones will
hopefully appear in TB 2.0: either an adjustable timeout; or the
ability to turn off the sound.  You could always post a wish at
Ritlabs.

KLc Best regards,
 
KLc KurganMailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]


Sudip is right though - both 2000 and 2001 need manual configuration
of The Bat to scan mail. I cannot see how email scanning will occur if
this is not done. Both versions will still pick up viruses if the
server changes are not made but this will be from the resident
scanner, not from email scanning. The giveaway is the scanning
envelope that appears in the system tray while retrieving mail. If it
is not there in 2001, mail is not being scanned.

From 2001:

Norton AntiVirus recognizes and automatically configures the following
email clients for protection:

Microsoft Outlook Express 4.0/5.X
Microsoft Outlook 97/98/2000
Netscape Messenger 4.X
Eudora Light 3.0
Eudora Pro 4.0
Pegasus Mail 3.0
Becky! Internet Mail 1.26
AL-Mail32 1.11

2002 operates in a very different way and needs no changes to settings
in The Bat.

Won't make a difference if it was there or not.  I don't think you
actually need to include a head section if you don't want to, it has
been a while since I've read any of the W3C's documents.  The problem is
resulting in the fact that TB wasn't given a header telling it that the
mail was HTML, and not plain text, so it assumed plain text.  Take a
look at the HTML emails you do get, and look for a header like:

Content-Type: text/html

This tells TB that the following text is of type HTML, which makes TB
read it via the HTML engine if you view the HTML portion of the message.

No. Simply No. Period. Nowhere is written I'm in duty to read

people agreeing with you on this opinion here.

Erm.. Well, I have to admit that I wasn't _entirely_ serious.
Which doesn't mean that I was entirely _not_ serious.

[Snip]

There's an archive. If I _really_ would have a question I'm able
to search the archive (first my private one, than the online
archive) if this topic was already handled.

I'd do the same.

And this method is quite more useful than reading every mail,
simply because chances are high you don't remember a very specific
topic that was handled 3 months ago only because you've read the
mails regarding to it.

On the other hand, reading messages that don't seem to be too
interesting at first sight _can_ help you to understand certain
aspects of the program better or provide you with useful
information you didn't know of before.

Take me for example. Just from _reading_ a lot of messages I
learnt:
1) how to copy  paste filters to  from the clipboard.
2) how to use the AV-plug-ins.
3) that messages sent by TB! are blocked by several ISP's.

So a search in archives is obligatory. Now if the search can't
be avoided to be sure, why flooding your brain with reading
every single message you're currently _not_ interested in

To avoid further misunderstandings: my message was primarily
aimed at TBUDL-subscribers who seem to have problems with the
concept of reading before questioning. Like the guy who asks how
to remove the X-Mailer-header whilst there is an extensive
discussion about XRay in progress.

Re: Need help with a Klez filter!

Hi Michael,

On Saturday, July 27, 2002 at 12:59:17 PM , Michael scibbled:

A Since I do not use NAV, I am not really sure how it works with TB! or how
A it would work with the filters suggested can someone else maybe
A elaborate for me, and give opinion on whether this would work or not?

MT NAV sits between the Mail client and the Server, examing mail as it is
MT sent recived. The send I think works as its own SMTP device.

MT I dont think NAV will support features such as filtering to folders
MT because of this, as the message attachment will never reach The BAt!
MT or any other email app, so as far as the BAT is concerd the email is
MT coming straight from the server with no scanning.

MT NAV Uses Port 3066 I think to listen for traffic and filters from
MT there.

Thank you, Michael, for your pleasant, prompt, easy to understand
explanation :)


Blessings and light,

 JA Not a setting, but I believe he is using X-Ray... try reading the
 JA thread both on here, and TBOT (see footer details).
 
 I personally use my MailServer, MDaemon, to do it.

If I was paying any attention, I'd have noticed that in your headers.

With MDaemon, I can adjust just a part of the header, while with
X-Ray, it's an all or none adjustment, so the version number will have
to manually changed with each upgrade when using X-Ray.

I strip the whole header anyway. Never was really fond of it being
there, though I'm a proud TB! user. :)

JA Welcome back by the way

Thanks.

The header I meant was this one:

(MDaemon.Standard.v6.0.3.R) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Sun, 28 Jul
2002 20:17:55 -0500

Showing it got accepted by MDaemon ;)  I made the assumption X-Ray, and
thinking about it now, I remember you mentioning in the past you used
MDaemon.

I could have been using X-Ray to filter the X-Mailer header. Marck has
been doing this and yet, he uses MDaemon as well. :)

Hi there, Dierk,

Could you please tell me more on how you use it? I still don't get it.

I  have  CLIPMATE  which can copy anything onto the clipboard, lets me edit
and print or attach.

Thanks,

DH You've already found the right place.

DH SmartBat is a kind of clipboard extension to collect snippets from
DH different mails (or other texts) for editing purposes. You can, for
DH example, built up a collection of quotations from various mails you
DH want to answer in only one reply to. You can also put in any other
DH text information from different sources (through the clipboard) to
DH compose a new mail body. that way you can even use external editors
DH to compose a message.

connected the two, perhaps too quickly.

I may have assumed incorrectly .. One day I'll go into the
thing on his machine and see if I can get some irritating
stuff turned off. If he doesn't get to it first. He
doesn't do much email, so doesn't get to the hair tearing
stage as quickly as I do, but if he's in the mood ...

In NT Norton put a line in the hosts file, but he didn't
put one in this one.

I mean, shouldn't this either be made into a new thread (long time ago

supplementary to Arjan's question, which has been declared a DH (not

I don't. Most of the time because I have a clipboard extender called
MultipleClipboard, which offers me 10 clipboards - usually enough for
me. After I have collected snippets there I paste them into TextPad or
directly into the application where I need them and compose my text.

I've only used SmartBat on two or three instances as a notebook,
mostly for testing purposes. Since PowerPro offers a utility Notes
(PostIts) I don't need SmartBat.
