Lee Goddard [EMAIL PROTECTED] replied: Why doesn't the service check the mail headers for the list or bulk setting and ignore such posts? Bad design. And is there an open-source anti-spam program in perl? And if not, why not? Of course. SpamAssassin, to name but one. And aren't all the best spam blockers written in Perl? :-) Unfortunately, all the best spam *launchers* seem to be written in Perl, too. :-( (No, I'd rather not pay ActiveState.) Could be worse. You could be paying Larry Ellison. :-) NOW.. can we all stop posting to this one thread, which has engendered more bandwidth-waste than the original post?

Title: RE: Re[2]: OH NOOO SPAM ATTACK! John... The only problem with that solution is that is requires sendmail and A UNIX-like operating system what about us poor schmucks that #1 run a Microsoft OS and #2 don't have access to the mail server? =) -Original Message- From: John Mason Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 1:28 PM To: 'Lee Goddard' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Re[2]: OH NOOO SPAM ATTACK! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lee Goddard Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 12:28 PM To: =James Birkholz= Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re[2]: OH NOOO SPAM ATTACK!
