Would be one less spammer to go....(ohh, well...too much BOFH here. But it's hella annoying with SPAM.) Another thing to do - and in spite of some pissed emails from postmasters I still do it - is to send to postmaster@ all domains in the header (through which the mail has been relayed and otherwise). In the hope, that eventually they get so annoyed that they remove the user or disable relaying from just "any" machine. I beleive that it is either that or the explosives...or an AK47... - --thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBNQQms8QLb2bL5bWVAQEcqwQAlMvPY/zFbnBM8sM4CPt1tvE7lJcEkOZH MEBnFKNcR5BraZtdO6mJqQPQpDk7vc260YWfNtPx2XGt2+l0kgAQvqQfeL9ZBqmW FabYw1TwoQQJkFd/ng9a6bZPddB4bO/fAB+TQYHMx7fhz+9ScaILyVVYdIeWm3hv DAaRrVjDaQw= =AeHf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu | |||||||||
