Re: [Freedos-user] Defrag broken...
Hi, sorry, I assume I can only reply via the list as rfc-ignorant would still blacklist me...? when these efforts fail, they discourage both of us from trying to filter out spam at all. I run my own mail server and the recommendation I have run into is to use the whois.rfc-ignorant blacklist. You are saying that making the source of email more identifiable increases spam, am I correct? blocked using whois.rfc-ignorant.org; TLD has no WHOIS server or incomplete data in server Not really. When you go to www.denic.de or a similar WHOIS page for Germany, you only have to read the rules (use whois contact info only for complaints, not for spamming domain owners...) and then follow some yes I accept the rules, then you will still get the full contact info. So source of email is still very identifiable. About the recommendation to use rfc-ignorant: A typical SpamAssassin configuration would give 0.2 spam points for abuse.rfc-ignorant and 1.7 for postmaster.rfc-ignorant. Not sure how many malus points you get for whois.rfc- ignorant, but saying any mail from this country is spam is certainly a too strong reaction to you have to read and accept some rules before you can use WHOIS here...

I'm curious as I want to to try and fix it myself if noone else is. If anyone can help me understand what is wrong with it or connect with me with efforts to fix it, I'd appreciate that. Looks like no responce yet. I usually use the Norton Utility 8 defrag. But if your using the FreeDOS 32bit there is another way its a cheat but it works. Pkzip -Prmu to another partition or drive it will only do the visible non system files. Then you can format and restore with Pkunzip -d. If however its the boot partition then you need a boot floppy to boot the system and restore the system to the boot partition. Then Pkunzip -d to restore. Its a hack I know but if the need is pressing its best to have multiple methods of solving a particular problem. I use this for my E: which has an annoying tendency to get corrupt with half full. I think its because its an exchange partition between OS and sees a lot of activity so the directory structure gets messy and even Norton does not help. Some directories having a 1000 or more articles will make Norton choke. Thus the Pkzip / Pkunzip method. I also switched to another partition for exchanges because I have programs on E: and that has cut down on the refreshing needed. CWSIV - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
