Moreover, I scanned your posts in this thread and each one I read convinced me a little more that you are, indeed, a spammer who has been caught in the SPEWS net. Of course you're not happy about that. But, also of course, everyone else is. We just wish SPEWS would come back really soon. And I assure you that it, or something very much like it, will.
There is a definite undercurrent of "If you don't like spews you must be a spammer" in this thread, but hey.. if that helps you sleep at night.
Ha, there you go again. I doubt there is a secret spammer/script kiddy consipracy here. My take on it is that through their own actions one or more spam lists have pissed off someone who [rightly or wrongly] has the power to retaliate. It's kind of like internet justice in a way.
Your problem is that you think everyone who hates spews is a spammer. Remember, spammers are business people and DOSing a site doesn't make them any money. I think that the anti-spam sites in question have just pissed off some script kiddy. And you know what? I'm on the script kiddies side on this one.

No, none of those are by any means recent, however the point is that qmail installs that aren't up to date are vulnerable, just like any other software that isn't kept up to date. Which I suspect was the original point of the poster.

Well, sure. But that depends on whether they 'volunteer' their time or not. They can't volunteer to be on a public recommendations panel and then after the fact demand compensation.
What sort of file is it? Outlook XP quarantines certain kinds of files just because they might be full of the evil. Of course, I'm sure you did a whole bunch of research into it:P
Companies with 50,000 staff need groupware to survive. They are also the people who can afford to give microsoft hundreds of millions a year for whatever the flavour of the month is.
There is a lot of money out there for whichever company comes up with a decent non-MS solution for 'groupware'.
How will they know you're using it though? Also, as an aside, without a legit CD key, you're missing out on the online component, which arguably is the best bit:)

And then, once it's working fine, you roll it out, if it breaks you rebuild the machine. This is the reality of enterprise IT. No mess, no fuss.
I submitted a bug report using the Google toolbar thing but never saw anything about it!
You should have been running IE in it's own process then. Doom on you, etc.
That was about the time I gave up on slashdot as a serious news source!
Well, it was going to be, until Microsoft stabbed IBM in the back. So it wasn't him being wrong, it was just him changing his mind :)

Well, what the consumer wants is high quality music for free. I could have told them that years ago.

Oh yeah, I agree. They are stupid for putting it in, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be locked up in a 'pound him in the ass' state pen.
