Hi,
I (lab=Lincoln A Baxter) am now using the the "qconfirm" mail-handling program, to quarentine mail from all senders whose email addresses are unknown to me, or whose email addresses I have not explicitly enabled.
One or more messages from you are being held in my pending queue
because your address was not recognized. To release your pending message(s)
for delivery, please reply to this request. Your reply will not be read,
so an empty message is fine.
If you do not reply to this request, your message(s) will eventually be returned to you, and will never be delivered to me.
Your confirmation verifies to me (and qconfirm) that your message(s) is legitimate and not junk-email, and you should never have to do this again as long as you use the same reply to email address.
If you sent a message to me by doing a "reply all" to a message I sent to an email list we have both subscribed to, rest assured that I have read your message from the list. If you wish(ed) to communicate with me personally (off list) please reply to this message as indicated above, and your message will be delivered.
This has virtually eliminated SPAM from my inbox, and I thank you in advance for helping to keep SPAM from my inbox.
The reason this works is as follows:
SPAMMERS tend not to use real "reply to" addresses. If they did, we would be able to find them and sue them for illegally trespassing on our equipment.
Even if they did use real reply to addresses, they would have to construct autoresponders (like this program) which would intelligently do the right thing to get their message through.
SPAM works because it is cheap for the sender, this breaks that business model.
Eventually qconfirm bounces the unconfirmed messages, and I never have to look at them.
More information about the qconfirm program can be found at http://smarden.org/qconfirm/ Note: this URL is just a website not an information gathering click through.... so RELAX!
Lincoln

here you are telling it to make xfs as the default choice.. to reverse it
you would "rc-update del xfs"

That should do fine.. though to be safe I'd cp /etc/dispatch-conf.conf
/etc/dispatch-conf.conf.old-08-09-03
> > >Replacing /etc/make.conf with /etc/._cfg0000_make.conf >mv: overwrite `/etc/make.conf'? y Because you make massive changes to make.conf I wouldn't do this.. Best thing to do is to compare the two files and add into your currnent copy, the extra lines.. (works for me *shrug*)

You should never *edit* the make.globals so yes, do an overwrite (but backup
first like I said in the /etc/dispatch-conf.conf )
