I'm surprised that it makes a difference.

(I was surprised that it made a difference as well, but it did.)

(on the bright side, whatever "vandal maintenance" took place appears to
have worked.  Grex is humming along right now.)

resp:20: If the webserver is up, you should be able to login and use
backtalk.  If logins are disabled, you just can't login, likely because
someone is working to clear up whatever was causing the problems that
made them reboot grex.  They'd want to make sure those scripts are gone,
logins are disabled, and possibly networks are blocked so they can
prevent the person from coming right back and starting again.

While grex is preventing Vandals, Mnet is letting them on their 
systems, after the mailbombing cgi script

I'm not sure if the user kap is still allowed to log on.  Finger information
shows up even if the user is splatted.

In the past day or so I have received five (5) copies of happy.scr from
azhar.rajput@sympatico.ca.  If other people have been receiving these, can
the filter be set to reject mail from this idiot?  Is happy.scr the
screensaver it claims to be or some virus on another machine?  The mails are
47K and I have to empty my mailbox regularly to keep it functional.

Can someone explain again, in detail, how to use procmail.  I just got a sixth
copy of the above spam, all 49K with header and message.

response 37 of 251: Mark Unseen   Jan 2 18:12 UTC 2003

Would it work to create a file in my home directory called .procmailrc
and put into it the lines  :0      * ^From:azhar.rajput*      /dev/null
(These are three separate lines but I cannot type a line starting with a colon
into bbs.)

RE:37 
You might have to put something in your .forward to make it work.  You can
also put a space before the gate prompt if you are entering special
characters, like:

response 39 of 251: Mark Unseen   Jan 2 19:06 UTC 2003

So what is .forward supposed to look like?
I think procmail should be included in something like the CHANGE program so
that all we beginners can use it more easily.  Any volunteers to do this?
I put those lines in a file .procmailrc (also * before the from address
since it comes as azhar rajput <azhar.rajput.....> and at least it is not
blocking normal mail (I sent myself a test mail).  The man page for procmail
also said to put -m somewhere, but I could not understand most of it.

You might want to post something in JellyWare about this, i dont think 
the item gets much traffic

Procmail's not trivial to set up using just the man page.
