  1. Re:Pollution = hurting other people on What Earth Without People Would Look Like · · Score: 1

    There were articles a few years ago inviting the reader to imagine what might happen if a Category 5 hurricane hit New Orleans*, but I don't think they were claiming it would be a good thing. Describing =/= advocating. * "Nobody anticipated the breach of the levees," my ass.

    Hell, if SA just detected animated .gifs and let me assign them 10 points, that would be fine with me. *Nobody* is sending me those legitimately. YMMV, etc.

    Oh, hell yeah.

  4. Re:"Your do not call list" on Is the Do Not Call System Working? · · Score: 1

    When I was doing phone banking two years ago, we hed a box on our call sheet to check for people who asked not to be called again. They were *supposed* to get purged from subsequent lists, but I can't verify it.

    Actually, Atlantis is crawling with Dell laptops. They all brought computers with them from Earth, after all.

  7. Re:backup MX? on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way · · Score: 1
    DynDNS agrees with you. From their FAQ:
    Why am I getting spam to my Backup MX domain through mx2.mailhop.org when my primary MX is up?

    Many spammers will use the lowest priority MX for sending spam to avoid DNSBL and other message checks. Many mail servers/spam filtering packages have a setting to make them aware of the "authorized" relay so they can strip it out before doing their checks. Other spam filtering packages, such as SpamAssassin, perform their checks on all Received headers, and thus aren't affected by this type of tactic. There's really nothing we can do to stop this - by the very nature of a backup MX service we must accept and relay all mail to you. You need to work out a solution to this problem with your mail server/spam filtering software's settings.

    At least half, maybe more, of our spam is now coming to the backup MX, and a lot of it is from Chinese/Korean hosts that wouldn't be allowed to connect to our server. This is enormously irritating.

    There might be a way to do so.
