I never ever get spam at my yahoo account or at my ISP, but plenty at grex.
I posted my grex address at my website and get lots of 'small business' spam
as well as the usual porno and mortgage.

If you post your address at a website, you will always get spammed.

I got it at my earthlink account as soon as I changed email addresses to avoid
spam. Not a single spam at my lesser-known ISP in six months.

I've been getting some interesting spam since someone did a search of
aac@* and figured out that aac@mit.edu was a valid address (mailing list).
Fortunately, it was ridiculously easy to solve the problem, since mit
allows you to take yourself off any list. I'm wondering if the others on
the list have figured it out yet.

lol. I posted uce@ftc.gov some time ago.
I suspect that spam bots have actually sent spam there!

One thing I love about GREX:
The staff's efforts to prevent spam mail aren't met with suspicion and
paranoia.

We *still* have a modem with defective flow control which dumps
the connection when you try using sz. <sigh>
If Jan is measuring modem usage without taking the defective
modems (noisy, disconnecting) into account, the actual demand
is being understated by at least one full line, maybe two.

Russ, dial 761-5041 instea dof 761-3000. I never have download problems with
the former and usually do with the latter (with Kermit). Most people don't
seem to be downloading so they tolerate the bad modem.

I keep getting Grex's bible quote rejection messages when trying to send
someone mail from here. This surprises me, since I thought the spam filters
only operated on incoming mail. Any ideas what I should change in my
message to get it to slide through?

Send mail to postmaster. Include a copy of the bounce message. There
are lots of things that can cause bible quotes, and yes, most of them
apply to mail of any origin, internal or external.

A postmaster (according to Pushkin) used to run a posting station where you
got fresh horses and a driver, and sometimes a meal and a bed. People were
always mad at them when they were out of fresh horses. I don't know when they
started to also handle mail.

I gave up before getting a response here, and sent the mail with another
email account.

When I got into the queue this morning I started at 625. Would this
be classed as a DoS attack?

One of the reasons for the 'l' command in the wait queue, as well as
"fixwait -l", is to make it obvious what IP address is being used for
such an attack.

I'm not sure whether this is a system problem, or an unavoidable thing, but
the queue doesn't work when I'm trying to SSH in. If there isn't an open
PTY, I get a "PTY unavailable" message and have to try to connect again,
instead of going into the queue. Do I need to change some of my settings?

about once everytime i go through the bbs items and press return to pass to
the next i get this:
Respond or pass?
Response not possible. Pass?
#33 of 33: by Ipse (md) on Mon, Jul 8, 2002 (12:19):
I'd make some popcorn and turn on the TV.
(then it goes to the next item new response and doesnt give me the title of
#0 :(
so i type 32 to see why md wants to make some popcorn and turn on the tv and
look:
Respond or pass? 32
#33 of 33: by Ipse (md) on Mon, Jul 8, 2002 (12:19):
I'd make some popcorn and turn on the TV.
the next item after that is always fine.
does this happen to anyone else?

Looks to me like a pager issue. Did you try "!resize"?
