Mailing list snag

2000-10-30 Thread Kevin Tea

Hi

I am trying to send a group email to a client which has 40 individuals 
I need to send some updated material to.

If I choose the group option and the address is GON list) it won't 
send and at the end of the run the original email editor pops up. The 
same happens if I send a multiple address mail containing all the 
members.

I seem to recall this worked in 1.46D - is this a bug or an anti-spam 
device?

Regards

Kevin

I could be that Netscape 6 isn't Netscape. It's Mozilla which is

Sure. There are various unsavoury folk "out there" who maintain vast
databases of email addresses. They sell them to those organisations
who want to engage in unsolicited email marketing, or "spamming" as it
is more commonly known.

These databases are populated by using "bots" (automated data
acquisition agents) to trawl web sites and UseNet for anything that
looks like an email address and grabbing it.

By seeding a published address with ".nospam", it is effectively
soured for spam-bots and rendered useless in the address databases.

On 10/30/2000 at 8:01 AM, Marck D. Pearlstone wrote:

MDP It's a matter of where it appears. The archives for this list do not
MDP show contributor's addresses but addresses in the body of a message
MDP would appear.

It is worth noting that the way in which you're munging the address is
poor for a couple of reasons. First, most harvesting programs *are*
smart enough to eliminate things like ".nospam." out of an address.
Second, there actually is a nospam.com. This means you're actually
bouncing your spam for some other poor bastard's system to deal
with...or worse, giving them nice demographic data.

The best way (per the email RFCs) to munge your address is to change
your TLD (com, net, org, etc.) to "invalid". My address, for example,
would become [EMAIL PROTECTED] Compliant mailing programs would
have code written in to reject such an address, and even failing that,
the domain won't resolve at all so the spammer gets an immediate
bounce message. While it's true they can brute-force it by changing
the "invalid" part to "com", "org", "net" and trying them all, there's
no evidence that they do so. At least you're not just handing your
spam to someone else.

So what's the safest way to munge your address within the message, but
still let other people know who you are? Easy; you don't give an
address, but rather instructions as to how to repair the one in the
header..."Replace 'invalid' with 'com'" in the above address.
Alternately, you can do what I do in my usenet postings, and put
something like "geo *AT* snarksoft *DOT* com".

Thank you Jason. I found a file there which seems to contain the
default glyphs.

Changed the first two glyphs and saved the file to the Bat
directory but it doesn't seem to work for me...

Consulted the FAQ again but couldn't see what else I should do.

Not a life-and-death matter exactly, but... :-)

Hi Charlie,

On 30 October 2000 at 19:37:50 GMT + (which was 19:37 where I
live) Charlie (ceejay) wrote and made these points:

MDP Yes and no ;-). Yes, it's just to confuse the bots. No, it's not a
MDP real address.

Cc Actually Marck nospam *is* a registered domain
Cc .com .co.uk .net .org.uk and .org are all registered.

I stand corrected. Make that "It's not /supposed/ to be a real
domain". As someone else said, ".invalid" could be used, or even
'.leavmealone' or '.spammenot' or '.bad' or any darned thing you like.

MDP That sounds like one Alexander V. Kiselev to me :-).

However, it was Alex. of Slovakia. 8-) I'm hanging around on the
Pegasus list because, just like my Russian namesake, on the whole I
admire Pegasus while acknowledging its deficiencies when compared to
The Bat. (Main deficiencies being no multilinguality and no
templates.) What I admire most of all in Pegasus is the fact that it's
free; this is no accident, but the designer's, David Harris's
philosophy. The philosophy is marvellously described in the short
"About Pegasus History" article located in Pegasus's Help menu.

I'm still reeling from the loss of the 35 dollars I had to pay for The
Bat here in Slovakia. I could have bought 70 (yeah, seventy) full
menu lunches for the money here. Or I could have paid my rent for six
weeks.

I wonder if any American or Englishman on the list would have paid 35
dollars for The Bat if you could buy a full menu lunch in the U. S.
for just 50 cents, as in the 1930s?

It's un-Christian of RITlabs to fail to offer substantial discounts to
fellow Bolshevism-stricken Eastern Europeans. ;-(( It's the good ol'
Bill Gates strategy that RITlabs are employing here in Slovakia: set
American prices for Slovakia, being content with the fact that most
people, instead of buying your program, will steal it. That's what
most Slovaks do: they crack The Bat instead of buying it.

Re: Annoyances

2000-10-30 Thread Januk Aggarwal

Hello MartianRover,

On  Mon, 30 Oct 2000  at  07:37:27 GMT -0800 (which was 7:37 AM
where I live) witnesses say MartianRover KF6KNC typed:

And Januk, there is a way to arrange the headings in the order you
want.  Its in the same place where you select which ones you want
or don't want.  There is a move up/down button.  :)

 Are you talking about the message list columns?  Those are user
 definable, yes.

 I thought you were talking about the headers that you see in the
 editor when you are composing a message, or perhaps the headers you
 see in the message pane. Again, you can configure which ones
 are shown, but not the order.  To configure the editor headers that
 are shown, open a Message editor, select View and select the options
 you want.  To configure the grey header bar above the message pane,
 select View - Show Headers - Select what you want.

 Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Where is glyph.bmp?

Hello Östen and everyone else...

ÖH Changed the first two glyphs and saved the file to the Bat
ÖH directory but it doesn't seem to work for me...

The glyphs file must be saved as "glyphs.bmp" in your TB folder. By
default, this is "C:\Program Files\The Bat!".

Re: Mailing list snag

2000-10-30 Thread Kevin Tea

Hi

As a follow up to this I thought I'd share the procedure I got the 
mailing list facility working again bearing in mind the list, as it 
was, worked with 1.46d.

I found an old copy of The Bat! At Tucows, downloaded and installed 
that over 1.47 using the same group list - no joy. I re-wrote the list 
message in the hope that something there was screwing up and tried to 
re-send - no joy.

I reinstalled 1.47 - well, it seemed only appropriate on October 31 to 
give the Halloween edition a second chance -  again, no luck. I deleted 
the group and instead of reloading from the existing master address 
book, I re-imported the names and addresses from Calypso after 
exporting them as a standard text file.

For some reason this worked and everything is fine.

I humbly apologise for suspecting there was a bug in The Bat! And shall 
go off to thrash myself with stiff, fresh celery and cream cheese as a 
penance g.


Regards

Kevin
