well thats part of the problem. they never identify who this "Marin" is
Its worth noting that this a posting to a anti-spam newsgroup, not a press release, so the background is assumed for the folks reading news.admin.net-abuse.email. For more info, google for eddy marin.
I believe the point the grandparent was alluding to was the fact that once on a blacklist, there is no way to get a domain off a blacklist
From what I've seen, SPEWS fixes listings that are incorrect promptly and in the case of correct listings once the spammers are gone, so are the listings. All in all, I think it works pretty well.
Open source to the rescue. Search for FreePDF. It uses Ghostscript and a virtual printer to create PDFs. I've not had any problems with it. I've got PDFs of the last couple years of TurboxTax printouts this way.
They thought of that, you cant bring up the forms if it isnt activated. Only the interview thing runs. I suppose you could capture Mary Sprouse's talking head:-)
From what I read before I returned TurboTax you can only run the interview on a non-activated machine. You cant get into the forms mode to even look at what its doing.
Intuit has a 60 day money back guarentee. I sent my copy of TurboTax 02 back for a refund and I told them exactly why. BTW, Tax Cut reads previous years Turbo Tax data files just fine.
Now what's needed is a simple to use tool to help users determine if their systems can be comprimized. Any ideas?

Enter the IP address of your mail server and your email for notification. Wait. You should get mail back with the status in an hour or so.
I think there's money in it for a firewall companies to market a "firewall kit" of software and optional flash drives for use on whatever boxes are handy.
That would be the GnatBox. The GBflash in particular. See www.gnatbox.com
As a user of DNS BLs, I want a reported, verified open relay to be listed *instantly*, the sooner the better, with no time to spew more garbage into my network. A few years back, when spam was just getting started, I came in on a monday morning, after being sick the entire weekend, to find some idiot relaying spam through my server. I spent a long day fixing it, because it was my responsibilty to do so. No excuses then, even less now.
Nonsense. The message is explain to your management what spam costs a company, and have them go along with it. We bounce an average of 500 mails from open relays per day into our not all that big network. The max so far is something like 2200 in a day. Even if people "just hit delete", the time adds up unbelievably fast. There is *NO* excuse to be running an open relay, AT ALL!

Sounds like the VMS phone utility from about 1979. IIRC, phone was a copy of something older from TOPS-20
Spammers would start inserting random stuff into each email
Inserting random junk to defeat checksumming has been happening for years.
Just uncheck the box that sends the report to Cyveillance before clicking the "send reports" button.
Heh. I guess I should wander by there some time and see what its morphed into.
I'd guess the "hippy street" is a reference to Hessler, not Coventry. Hessler should be right in the middle of the coverage area.
That's what the listing of what its figured out is for. Youre supposed to look at it before you press the "Send spam reports now" button.

You dont mention which distribution youre using, but FWIW, on Red Hat when sendmail is installed it only accepts connections from localhost.
Maybe if SCOX's stock price goes back to the $.78 a share range IBM *will* buy them out. $11 mil is probably cheaper than feeding the lawyers :-)
I thought the 8 was done by Ed deCastro, who went on to start Data General?? And I've met him too :-)
Ayup, like Ashcroft for example.
Actually a helluva lot of real accountants use Intuit tax software just not TurboTax. See: http://www.lacertesoftware.com
Maybe they were on our side in 1970. Given the current makeup of the court, I wouldnt be surprised if a contemporary ruling was quite different.

More than currently. The tax rate on someone making $20k/year is a bunch less than 20% currently. For 2003 the fed tax on $20k would be about $2300.

So what did happen to the Computer Engineering department? I noticed awhile back that it seems to bave been absorbed into the EE world.
