Online Marketers to Stamp out Spam?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yeah-that-could-happen dept.

CodeHog writes "A group of online marketers want to get rid of spam and are proposing a registry base system for transmitting email. They are calling the project Lumos. Computer World has an aritcle on it Online marketers offer new antispam initiative . Doesn't it seem like these are the same businesses that profit from spam? Even better, this is being proposed by ESPC. The member list doesn't look too anti-spam to me." The obvious issue of course is that most spammers won't follow the rules anyway. My spam is up 20% over the 1st quarter of 2003! Yay!

    I am running debian woody 3.0(kernel bf 2.4). I can execute kppp as root only not as normal user.When I loging as normal user, I have to open terminal as super user mode and connect internet. It gave me an option while installing kppp that "to run kppp as normal user, become a user of proxy group". I could not understand how to become a member of proxy group.

    One more problem:- I have NIC. but I am not connected to LAN. my NIC remain always active. when I connect internet, I have to pass"route add default ppp0" always. Is there any escape from it.

    The Klan isn't big on white Catholics. We're Papists apparently.

    Actually, the Klan is even more tolerant than that.

    Most common factions of the Klan have no problem with any race, as long as they don't try to interbreed. What most agree on is that Whites and Blacks should not mix.
