Yeah, doing two runs like that would definetly defeat the purpose of that kind of filtering. But I suppose it'd weed out the extremely stupid spammers.
I switched away from IE a while ago because the browser windows would mysteriously disappear while using Microsoft's own Virtual Desktop Manager. Firebird works fine with it. It's ironic that Firebird integrates more well with one of MS's products than MS's own product does.
It's pretty simple: AOL handles their own mail internally, so if any incoming mail has "@aol.com" in the sender's address, they can assume it's forged.
They'd still be big, just because they're well-known. Just look at their search sites: even though MSN and Yahoo have crappy ad-packed search engines, a lot of people still use their sites to search instead of Google.
Also, if you knew nothing about computers, which would you be more comfortable using: Hotmail or "cool-free-web-mail-by-bob.biz"?
I think the best way is to just have people handle spam filtering in their own ways, at the client level. Adaptive spam filtering is available in several e-mail clients, and it works very well while annoying very little people.
However, I know that some people still have dialup and they'd still have to download all the spam before filtering it.
"AOL is taking a different approach and is testing a system under development by the Internet Research Task Force. The system, called the Sender Permitted From, or S.P.F., creates a way for the owner of an Internet domain, like aol.com, to specify which computers are authorized to send e-mail with aol.com return addresses."
Shouldn't AOL have thought of this a long time ago? I remember a few years ago when I used to use AOL and got deluged with FormMail spam with faked @aol.com return addresses. Good to see they're getting their act together.
Nope. I made the tool for sysadmins. I help run a large Windoze network where this kind of message can come in handy. I also built in some very important safeguards against spamming with it (it doesn't use RPC, just NetBT).
If you're looking for someone to blame for messenger spam, Direct Advertiser is the who you're looking for.
I've been playing Xbox Live since the beta test and I think the way it's set up (with a single company controlling everything) has many benefits. Signup is relatively easy, you only need to set up one account. You can find and join a game in a few seconds. Every game also uses virtually the same interface. $10 a year seems like a good price to pay for all this; mose MMORPGs cost $10 a MONTH and that's only for one game!
It seems kinda unfair to me how Microsoft is hated in the game industry just because of what they did in the computer industry. You can't argue with the fact that the Xbox is the most powerful machine on the market.
I fixed my sendmail server in a little under 30 minutes. 5 to download the new version, 5 to unpack it, 10 to compile, and 10 to install and reboot. It's not THAT big of a deal.
I found some inaccuracies in the article.
Counter-Strike was not released in 1998 by Valve. Half-Life was. CS came out later and was made by those "CS Team" guys.
Also, bomb planting scenarios aren't the only ones in CS. There's also hostage rescue and assasination.
Flame me if you wish, but I prefer DTDs when working with XML. DTDs are MUCH easier to create than schemas. Plus, there's no annoying namespaces to deal with.
I've had a different SMS annoyance happen to me before.
A couple months ago, I was once sitting in a mall eating lunch, when my phone started beeping VERY loudly. It was an SMS message. Was it an important email? No, it was T-Mobile telling me about some retarded service from them than I would never buy.

Probably not. I once read that soap in the urethra can cause massive pain.
But at least you'll have an excuse to blame lag everytime you die.
Music labels should learn from the porn industry and start spamming everyone's e-mail inboxes with free music.
But if Bill owns the moon, then Microsoft would have a monopoly on the tides of the ocean, giving them a firm grip on the beach vacation industry.
Don't worry, you can avoid that by switching to extended characters 128-255 in the new Microsoft ASCII.NET(tm)
Why is "Second Part to Hell" naked in the picture in the article?
I'd say it's more like calling the guy behind McDonalds roasting rats over a flaming trashcan a chef.
You could try this this helpful solution.

Reminds me of what they did with gopher...

But with real mail, at least you get those pretty Business Reply Mail cards.

Damn. I should've trademarked the name.

I hate Trinitrons. Those lines thru the middle of the screen can really get annoying, like a dead pixel on an LCD screen.
