If you do not tolerate any level of spam, you are not using e-mail.
Sorry, but spam exists. I hate it, you hate it, we all hate it. But
it's a fact of life with e-mail. If you go into a nervous breakdown
everytime you get a spam because you just can't emotionally cope with
another unsolicited e-mail today, then seek therapy. Really.
Well said!
I would get about five to ten nervous breakdowns a day, then. :-)
Noted. I hope you have insurance.
And after all, there *are* tools to filter (and even fight) spam,
Realy?
Filtering is after the fact, so the spammer achives their goal at the
filter point with your help, thank you. I booted computers before there
was email so stop giving me this nonsense.
All I did was mention a disappointment over the fact that the list is
managed so poorly that it allows bastards like lojadotelemovel.com to spam
everybody on each debian list times over. It's unprofessional IMO and you
won't change my position so filter that out of your mind. Those who don't
know how to find a decent server to send email to the list do not deserve
to send it on the first place. Simple as that. If that includes my server
so be it and I'm sure you'll let me know.
As I said, I might hang around for some time to possibly learn something
usefull from a mailing list that encourages spammers. When the percentage
changes significantly I'll make a decision one way or the other. When the
level of spam reaches 15% or more I wonder how many people will still hang
around.
so why on earth one wouldn't take advantage of those tools? In my

want, but remember you only have one spare tire and a roll of duct tape.
experience, SpamAssassin has been irreplacable - I get so much spam
during a week, that it would be utterly disastrous to cope with them by
hand. Fortunately, SA weeds 99% of spam and haven't catched a single
real email yet.

up Procmail SpamAssassin and you don't have to tolerate spam anymore.
Or is this some sort of question of principle? If so... *shrug*
That's all I wanted to say.
Spinning the wheel on the same spot...
