Hi,

and the worst thing was that they sent no SERVFAIL but NXDOMAIN what
will cause a lot of bounces...

Biggest thrill for me was reverse-egineering the 'fast loader' code in 
one of the games so that I could create my own TSR that would allow me 
to load *any* game from the floppy drive using fast synchronous 
transfer.


I remember to run some app on my C64 (there was a 1541-II atached to it, 
as well as a 1581 -- but the 1541-II is the device that came into play) 
that used the floppy's CPU and RAM as a second node. MPP for crunching 
fractals, in the 80s, at home! :D



Sigh.

Re: ZMI-GERMAN: question to the users

Dear users of the ZMI-GERMAN ruleset. I manage those ruleset, and just 
(again) received the message below, about "you won a trip". Those 
messages are spammy, although you really can do such a trip and only pay 
the flight ticket (which then costs enough to also include the trip 
itself ;-). Anyway, as this is nothing were your money vanishes, I 
didn't include such messages until now.


But maybe, if response and urge is high, I will include them. What do 
you think? Is it spam for you?


Hi,

yes, this is spam.

HTH,

When you say "from myself to my self" it sounds like simple address
spoofing which spammers do all the time. It doesn't imply an open
relay, and your server being an open relay doesn't even help the
spammer to send to you.


ii) When I check the header all information is about our server. I
can not see any external server.


Well, there's a different IP adress in X-Originating-Ip, so you have
presumably cut some received headers off.


You mean this *X-Originating-Ip:[14.960.49.68]* one?

;)
