RE: Discord (was: DEC Computer Lab for sale)
There was an incorrect link posted, and then a few moments later the correct link was posted. So ignore the first one and use the second one. If you use the first one, you'll join my MOHAA gaming discord, probably not what you want heh I will check the 2nd one to make sure it is still valid, but thought it had no expiration date.

If you don't do that, many (or most) mail servers (MTAs) will silently drop the mail due to DKIM/SPF/DMARC failures. If I send mail from f...@example.com to a classiccmp.org list, and then the list sends it to all the subscribers _without_ rewriting the From header, many (or most) receiving MTAs will find that the message fails origin verification because classiccmp.org can't be validated as a legitimate SMTP originator for email from example.com. I'm surprised that use of an "X-Original-From" header or similar isn't commonly used to work around this. Possibly people may think that it would help spammers harvest email addresses, but it wouldn't make the harvesting problem any worse than it was before From rewriting. Some list software puts the entire original From address in the comment part of the rewritten From header, rather than only the comment part of the original.

The current message "From" field contains the name of the original sender but with the encoded address of the list as the email address For example this has Al Kossow via cctalk Some email clients have a feature which try to automatically capture the "from" and add them to a local address book. Thunderbird has 3 layers (at least) of address books. The "discovered" email addresses as I describe here, the local address book if you use it with your manually added contacts, and finally if you sync it with an outside contact facility such as Google or another server. The addresses from these mailings end up with a number of captured entries in the local address books which don't point back at the actual sender, but to the list. I've not had it happen many times, but you do have to watch using short names (like if I create an email to "al") that it gets the correct address. I don't recall what the list used to do, but I know there were changes made a few years ago which resulted in this. I don't have a criticism, just an observation to toss in to the mix once the list(s) are migrated to visit this. I know Jay tore his hair out then, and appreciate this isn't a simple problem (maybe others too). I know Jay mentioned the Discord server which is very active, but I wish that it could be captured as an archive to be perused in the same way as the cctalk list (I have all the emails since I joined), the vcf list (searchable I think mostly by google). These serve as a great resource, and I'm not sure that the discord server where such information is discussed is captured. thanks Jim

Since I am at +10 GMT most of the conversation on cctalk already happens during the small hours here, so in the morning I have the bulk of the day's worth of US/Europe timezoned postings to browse through with questions posed and already answered in numerous followups (and 'For Sale' items well and truly snapped up :) If I was on after midnight local time, I guess it might be useful and I should take a look at it, but so far I'm pretty happy with cctalk as it is now.

Your Discord account/login is persistent across all "servers" (which are really just groups of channels with authority delegated to the "server" admin). It is true that to find you chatting in a specific context, I'd need you to tell me the server you're on. But I could still chat directly with you if I knew your ID. The scenario you describe is more like IRC. There is no one "IRC", but many servers on many networks, each with their own sets of usernames and authentication methods (or, often, none at all). So one must always say "find me on channel #foo on network #bar." That said, IRC Will Never Die. j

(mail wins for me any day). The interesting question to me is if decentralized social media (like discord) makes sense at all. For the uninformed, anyone can set up a discord server - but the discord identity space is per server - not per the planet. So I can't say "follow me on discord at 'tony'. I have to say 'follow me at discord foo at bar'. And I have to do that for each discord community. It doesn't scale. Compare it to Facebook, Twitter, and the others. Once you homestead your identity, you get it globally. That is a huge win. What would make the concept OK is if there was a federated identity system, such that I could post on any discord server with an identity based on the root one I registered at. This way I could have a single global identity..
RE: Discord
Medal of Honor : Allied Assault We are also looking to 'wrap into the same game' the Spearhead and Breakthrough add-ons. If you ever want to play, you can download a free version called "mohaa revival" (we put that out as well). There are a few gameservers left, but 'mohaa.todesplace.org' is the one ya want to join for the 'cool people' LOL We usually only have players during the evenings, but occasionally there is a rare day-group. -Original Message- From: Lyle Bickley Sent: Friday, November 15, 2019 12:54 PM To: cctalk@classiccmp.org Cc: jw...@classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Discord Hi Jay, What game are you working on?
