    but really, serial ports? parallel ports? i'm not too sure that the scsi is going to win them any points either, but what the hell. they might have well integrated a video controler, an audio controler, and a 9600 baud modem to boot!

    Well, I think they target embedded applications and not laptops here. Most embedded applications don't need sound or video capabilities and most engineers love to have serial and parallel I/O, because of their simplicity.

    Well maybe the proposed protocol just wasn't very good?

    A .porn domain would be good, if most of the porn was collected under a single TLD it would be easy to block it at schools and so


    blocking via domainnames? I think you'd better block via IP, most of those kids are smart enough to figure this out...
    Anyway the most illegal porn won't be located under http//www.lolita.porn. but under http://fctnts14d017.nbnet.nb.ca/~xydds/ this is why filtering wont work...

    Then you know that disallowing their server wont stop any Spam


    I'm not disallowing their server, I'm disallowing any mail originating from their domain. this catches SPAM with faked from addresses like this:

    sendmail[22915]: g69HuDT22915: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<pweller1313@hotmail.com>, relay=customer241-109.iplannetworks.net [200.69.241.109] (may be forged), reject=550 5.0.0 <pweller1313@hotmail.com>... domain rejected

    sendmail[21861]: g6FEnGT21861: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<xianjotda@msn.com>, relay=82.6.177.216.bed.dialup.g4.Net [216.177.6.82], reject=550 5.0.0 <xianjotda@msn.com>... domain rejected
    sendmail[21861]: g6FEnGT21861: from=<xianjotda@msn.com>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=82.6.177.216.bed.dialup.g4.Net [216.177.6.82]

    as you can see these comes from dialin systems, but fakes to come from @hotmail.com and @msn.com
    I don't know why most spamers choose hotmail, msn or yahoo to be their origin domain, maybe because no american admin would be keen to block this domains (and as a result blocking 50% of all potential customers). It's not my ignorance which made be block this domains, it just solves the SPAM problem without affecting normal operation. Just think about how much mail you would miss if you would block @web.de, @t-online.de or @gmx.de? Not much I suppose...

  10. Re:Uh... on Jupiter Forecasts 50% Increase In Spam · · Score: 2

    From someone stupid enough to think that *@hotmail.com spam is actualy sent from hotmail servers, it's not suprising.

    I know that these domains aren't actually sending the spam, but the most spamers set their from adresses to msn, hotmail or any freemailer.
    And your insulting comment clearly shows that I hardly miss anything.
