the example i forwarded was a periodic reminder. i might be able to live with a single message the first time someone nominates me as a friend, but if it's in cron and a database then it's certainly spam. (and the initial message should require a positive answer before i ever get a second human-triggered nomination request from some other facebook user.) facebook is pursuing a "chemical polluter" business model where all problems are, from their point of view, downstream. -- Paul Vixie KI6YSY _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
