Interview With The SpamAssassin
comforteagle writes "Howard Wen has conducted an interview with Daniel Quinlan of SpamAssassin. In it he explores what keeps Daniel motivated in the face of the unrelenting torrent of spam and new spamming techniques, as well as, what is working - what is not, and what he predicts spammers have up their sleeves next for defeating spam detection." From the interview: "If you don't mind deleting spam manually, that's your prerogative, but don't complain about it. If your ISP doesn't do a good job fighting spam, then switch ISPs or install your own anti-spam software. There are a lot of choices out there."
Fr0st P1st!!!
My company uses a spam appliance called Meridius. It's based on some proprietary technology and uses spam assassin as a second layer. It has a very slick interface and stops about 97% of spam. Oh and it's made by a Canadian company called BlueCat Networks.

I love yahoo, and so do my parents.
Their email address is a trap, because I willing put their address out on the Internet for the search engines. They have no problem keeping up with the junk mail, because they know who their friends are. I also step in every once and a while and educate their friends about hoaxes. The three Lap Tops that I bought last year under her name makes her look like a real "nerd". But what really pissed me off, is that one of them was stolen in Greece. You see my sister and her husband tied the not. Yep they are happily married. Then they worked their asses off in another country, just to have some one steal their shit, and only receive $200.00 for what was a $1500.00 piece of hardware. Now mind you that I set this laptop up for them, and I used to have software called Stream Box VCR. Now who ever is the lucky owner of said laptop, and if they know how to do hard drive forensics, is in for a big surprise.
Now Gmail, that is a great place to store all of your "adult" material. You know, material from California, or Japan. But for the life of me, I can not remember the user name and password for that address. I am sure google knows, because it know who got the free beta address from who, and who sold some on ebay for $0.06 dollars, but then did not collect the money.
Let me tell you a little story about last night. Now that I am an un-employed hacker, I decided to go get a drink at a place that serves spirits. After imbibing my far share of liquor, I decided to close my tab. The happy bartender brought me the wrong card. Prior to being un-employed, I would instantly return the piece of plastic. Now that I am bumming around, It took me a little bit longer to return said monetary storage device. However, my, I am better than you, but not better then these people:

Roman Catholic upbringing is telling me that I should shred the piece of paper that is my wallet. And in reality, I really should have never been tempted to look at said piece of plastic, and write on paper while looking at said piece of plastic. Now I am not nervous about people getting my info because I scratched the number off the back of mine. I also have "ASK FOR ID", but only 3 out of every 10 people actually do that, Thanks.
In summery, I would like to thank Mr. Bush for bring religion back into politics.
Amen. You have let me see the light, and I will not be doing any computer work for money, while your are in office. Computer Science will just be a hobby for now, a really strange and fucked up hobby.
