Doesn't a white-list lock out new people?  Like what is the use of listing
contact info on a web page if no one can get through?
Dan,
Thanks for waiting on a response.
There is a common misconception about white lists. While your
comment is along those lines, it is not unusual.
The common misconception about white lists is that it is a exclusive
list of allowed email. This is not the case. In fact, it is just a list
of emails that get priority. I am by no means advocating, or suggesting,
that a person use white lists as the only people one should get email
from.
As for public contact via email, there are solutions, but that is part
of my talk. I plan to present these points again, at many different
club meetings.
My impression, as with ssh, is that the technical community is spending
too much time on the wrong problem. Sure one might make lots of money
selling knock-off copies of Spam-Assassin, but it does not solve the
issue. For that matter, neither Spam-Assassin nor Bayesian(sp?) filters
will make a bit of difference in the long run. Sure someone will profess
to have great success with it, but I hardly find that to be the general case.
Before I digress into dribble, let me leave it at that.

As for [EMAIL PROTECTED], et al. :p

Have a nice day, Dan.

Jessem.

SVBUG what happened tonight (12-04-2003)

2003-12-05 Thread jessem
Announcement for 2003-12-04
Topic: What happened to me tonight.

The reflections of a night can at times be beyond one's control.

To make it short, I got in a car accident tonight. I am okay,
nothing wrong; just a shaken realization. As the CHP officer said, 
your still alive. And I am glad of that.

My vehicle is totaled and replacement will not be easy. At least
not as easy as when I worked in the tech sector. My decision
has been and always will be to stay in computers.  However, it's
a pity that my life decisions are not as good a my technical.
(some might argue otherwise).

To surmise I'm a bit melancholy, but what's important to you
is this:

Jon Syrstad of Ampex has confirmed that my findings that
using a white list is the key to avoiding spam.  He estimates
that within a month his job of reviewing the daily SPAM from
8 times a day for legitamite email to once.

Jon uses a full set of tools and is personally charged by
the CEO to reduce SPAM. He has both commercial and open
source tools. None have been or will every be as effective
as a white list, consisting of family, friends, business
associates and people you really want to talk to.

So, as a local company selling cell phone service likes to say,
get off 'their' clock, permission to speak freely.


Thank You
Jessem.

Hi

Could you please discuss spam issues on a spam list. Your mail
has nothing to do with FreeBSD.

I'm sorry about your car accident, but that is also not hackers@
material. It is, however OK for [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks!
