GreX is slower than a peanut-butter river and there are high load_averages.

Re: #251: Seeing that, I tried to ftp again from my remote host. I got just
a little further, but after grex displayed this:
230->>>NO PSYBNC<<< >>>NO EGGDROP<<< NO NO NO!!!!! Won't run here!
230-
230-You must keep file transfers below 100 kilobytes >>>per day<<<.
230-
230-DO NOT BRING THESE FILES TO THIS SERVER:
230-NO eggdrop, NO psybnc or any bouncer, NO IRC servers/clients/bots, NO
emech,
230-NO MUDs, NO mp3s, NO jpegs, NO gifs, NO audio files, NO PTLink, NO BitchX,
230-NO Windows or Linux programs (won't run here - Grex runs SunOS), NO
Unreal,
it "froze" - I had to use Ctrl-C to break out. Now I'm back to getting the
immediate 421 after login.

What fraction of incoming e-mail on grex is spam? It must be a very large
fraction, given what I observe on a couple of accounts. Is this a good
utilization of server capacity?

Isn't this a concern to Grex staff/board? It would seem that Grex is providing
"service" primarily to spammers rather than to users. I don't see indications
that this bothers anyone very much (unless there is something in coop about
it).

Marcus has added anti-spam features to sendmail. When he gets time, or at
other impetus not clear to me, he looks at the mail forwarded to uce and tries
to "sharpen the teeth" of his spam-filter.
There has been some discussion but, so far as I know, no progress on the mail
system for the new grex machine.

I was forwarding all of this spam I've been getting to uce, but I saw no
change (well, actually a great increase) in the amount of spam received,
so I quit. It is quite time consuming to forward the spam, and with no
evident improvement, I just delete it now.
If it is really true that 90% of the e-mail received here is spam, I would
suggest some drastic action, like everyone changing their e-mail address,
or do it wholesale by (say) adding "6" to the end of every account. But
then everyone would have to inform their correspondents.... I HATE SPAM.

The feeling is most likely mutual. Or it would be, if cigarettes had feelings.

Do you have terrifically bad reading comprehension, or are you purposely
misinterpreting the fact that "fag" in that context undeniably refers to
homosexuals?

I get around 40 spams a day on Grex, thanks to several of my addresses being
on the web. I, for one, am pretty annoyed by it, but I don't know what we
can do. Of course, I don't know how many more I'd be getting without
Marcus's spam filter, but my sense is still that his approach isn't working.
Can we allow users to filter their own spam on the new machine?

I get hundreds of spam messages per week. I often delete important
real email by mistake while deleting the spam. It is very irritating.

Yes, 90+ percent of the e-mail I receive at grex is SPAM. I haven't yet made
the effort to set up procmail rules to try to filter out the obvious ones...
