Nope. Whitelister creates a hierarchical system by which messages may be explicitly included or excluded from being passed to postgrey depending on the results of other envelope-level tests. It serves as prior art for the purposes of this discussion, and posts from 8/2005 show that users consider it to be working both angles. Now, be very clear: I am not denying _you_ shared credit for the concept with the Postfix people, but the idea that your "friend" the vendor can claim it as intellectual property, when you spec'd it out and have documentation of same -- and that that's why you're playing it close to the vest -- is ridiculous. If it's yours or Brian's, it's yours; in reality, it's nobody's. > ...no expectations or discussions of me giving it a rave review or > financial benefit to me outside of what the software itself > offers...

The reason you have this misconception is that no other vendor spammed the list. Others earn an audience the old-fashioned way: spending money, not just time, to make money. The other vendors rely on search-sensitive advertising, banners, print ads, PR, and in the cases of cash-strapped authors and free products, simply hoping to be indexed and found by dogged sysadmins -- and then further promoted by unaffiliated users and reviewers. There are surely some unethical apples in that other bunch, of course, as everywhere, but they don't spam. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
