Why aren't you guys running spam filters? The only time I see spam on this list is when you folks reply to it. Spam isn't a fad on the internet; it's here to stay and it's going to eventually infect every email account you've ever had. Get a -good- spam filter and stop worrying about the mailing

Title: Re: [binc] Spam Filters, etc. Is this an issue of people replying to everyone vs. replying just to the list? The last response I sent (that apparently was duplicated) was a reply-all case. The response Im sending right now is replying just to the list. Knowing that might help isolate

The port will run configure for you. I believe that the same idea still works. Since you already have it installed you'll want to: # cd /usr/ports/mail/bincimap # make clean # CXXFLAGS=-g make # make deinstall # make reinstall When make is running you should see the calls to the compiler being

I quickly see this turning into the same license debate we've seen 100 times. Andreas was asking for a license that makes the business world feel good about modifying the source. GPL does not make me feel good. Something like FreeBSD where I can give back the changes that I want to (think what

Something like FreeBSD where I can give back the changes that I want to (think what Apple has done for various open source projects) makes me feel good and is probably a fair compromise. That's no compromise for the user, only the developer, in that ACME can build a whizbang out of the

I certainly like the FreeBSD license. Can't get much more open than that. No one is forced to give back their modifications under any circumstances which makes a whole lot of sense. The company I work for takes advantage of a lot of open source software and although it doesn't make any business

Hack the config file for squirrel mail to use Inbox/Sent, Inbox/Drafts and Inbox/whatever-the-last-one-is. The reason is that, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, Maildir++ has the root implicitly Inbox. Thus any folders must be created as subfolders of Inbox. -Bob On Mar 6, 2005, at 10:03
