Re: Anti-spam filters (was:Re[5]: List Administration Note)
Hi all, On Sunday, September 26, 1999, 12:44:43 AM (-5 GMT), Steve scribbled: You missed the point. My point was that someone has a real problem, which is off the norm, and you refuse to discuss it. Well then, don't. But don't tell the author of that post, or the list, that this shouldn't be discussed. You have missed the point. He wasn't looking for discussion. He was refuting advice I had given. There is a difference. But Steve, if your method doesn't work in his particular case, what other recourse does he have but to put up his hand and say that it won't work? I'd have done the same. Do you have any advice for him at this juncture. I think that you've succeeded in getting the point across that his situation is not the norm and that his method of dealing with spam shouldn't be generally adopted. I wish to hear how you'd deal with his peculiar situation of having to deal with spammers who seem to stupidly believe in quality and not quantity. -- Regards, -=Ali=- In mathematics or physics, simplifying can be complicated. *---* Using The Bat! 1.36 Beta/4 on Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5) *---* -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, click below and send the generated message. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Tried the search and it seems to work well. How about some user configurable list options next? (I know, I know. The more you do for us the more we want.) I just discovered that I deleted Phillipe's message with the subject "$$$MONEY FOR NOTHING ! $", because when I saw it in the the Mail Dispatcher, I thought it was spam. :) I _like_ my mailing list's messages to come with that little identifying tag. -- Paula Ford The Bat! 1.35 (reg) Windows 95 4.0 Build 950 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, click below and send the generated message. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Most are highjacking their connection as it is and are shut down in short order so this whole exercise of a fake bounce, while containing some academic value, is worthless. -- Steve C.

Greetings fellow Battlers, We have now added a new dimension to TBUDL and TBBETA that will, hopefully, add to its' usefulness. The TBUDL and TBBETA discussion lists are now being archived in a public archive resource at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have also provided a simplified alias for each address and convenient shortcuts to the archive in the list traffic footer text. The simplified aliases (URL forwarding) are: http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com and http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com. Cheers, Marck -- Marck D.
