Yes i am getting these now. Has someones computer or emal account been

Its actually quite smart, from the POV of the senders.

They'll have some random-legitimate looking gmail account joining a 
stack of mailing lists.
I'd guarantee the list member is not the same address as the spam's 
sender address.


People who post to those mailing lists are legitimate humans, so they 
reply with spam directly to the sender.


Is there a way with mailman to require at least one mailing list post 
per year?


Or it might be time for a list membership validation, but that will 
penalise the lurkers who rarely or never post.
And what's to stop it happening again?   A verify on every list posting, 
like a forum with a captcha ?  Or a magic chicken like some of the 
specialist newsgroups need?

[Linux-users] Can you have mbr and gpt bootups on same machine?

[j . visch]

 

I currently have mbr bootups on my machine but have added a 3tb and
a 4tb hard drive and want to be able to boot off one of those and still
use the full size of the disk. 

Has anyone found a way of switching
easily? Or even in a complicated way? 

thanks
