message base restructuring in 1.42
Hi, fellow batmen, To keep long story short (and not harass you with details how I've installed and re-installed 1.42) - is there any way to MANUALLY restructure message base in 1.42?

Re: Anti-spam filters (was:Re[5]: List Administration Note)
On Thursday, September 23, 1999, 22:59:49 PM +0200, Steve Lamb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> composed profoundly about 'Anti-spam filters (was:Re[5]: List Administration Note)': SL> In short, the way that spammers operate, they aren't going to put the SL> address in there with everyone else's since it doesn't put the ad up front and SL> it increases the size of the data block.

Steve, I, sure, am aware that it takes ALOT less resources when BCCing addresses. However, as I told before, _I_ am getting only ~5% of spam this way. Today, with leased line, sending 50MB of info is matter of minutes, if not seconds, therefore this is not and couldn't be a problem. What I've noticed additionally: spammers are changing their email addresses on the fly, with each individual mail. It's quite often for me to get few same spams with interval of few minutes, first of which came from, let's say [EMAIL PROTECTED], second one from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - note different numbers. They are surely doing this to make filtering more difficult. This indirectly confirms my thesis of the progress in their mail clients and 'preparing' each mail individually. -- Greetz, Arunas Norvaisa - Little Guy, The Masses Inc.

Steve, This was true perhaps 6-8 months ago. I don't know what kind of spam you are getting, but mine is addressed to me (well, 95 mails out of 100). I think this is because their mailagents are getting updated and are capable of addressing each mail individually. The most constant thing, appeared lately in spam messages, is senders address with some erratic numbers, some- thing like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And this is possible to filter using procmail (I hope you, being *nix specialist, don't need further instructions..).

Re: OT: Mail to all address book entries

My experience with Netforward isn't so good. The relay time sometimes was more than 2 hours with absolute record of 5 days (!!!). It was about 2 years ago, however; perhaps they improved, but I don't usually give second chance for email services. You may want to check these forwarding services instead: http://www.stones.com http://www.mail.com (lets you chose domains from their rather big list) http://mail.yahoo.com (yes, they introduced POP & forwarding recently!) Or search yahoo for 'free email forwarding'. OR, even better - get a free shell account (http://www.ductape.net or http://www.freeshell.org), place a .forward (note a dot at the beginning!) file in your home directory, containing your mailbox address and voila - all email is forwarded to you! With shell account you'll be able to do much more to your mail (filter with procmail, for example), not only forward. Any questions - please contact me *privately*. God luck!
