Er... exactly what relevant information is conveyed here? Colin just mentions that _some_ people are not entering the addresses in their passlist.

Let me think this out... there must be some logic behind all this... Ah, yes! It's in your signature! Personally, I think that _you're_ the one who is prejudiced. In this case not against, but in favour of C-R programs. I think Colin understands very well. But I guess it's no use telling you that, you must know, as well. And by the way, falsely accusing someone of 'cleverly spreading dis-information' in an open community like this should be grounds to remove you from the list. Oh, wait, we are an _open_ community. All opinions welcome! Please, do not respond on this subject. Moreover, if all your posts are going to be like this, do not respond on anything at all. And please be so kind to not start threads, either. > For Linux/Bash users: Eliminate spam with the Mailbox-Sentry-Program. > See: http://tinyurl.com/inpd for the scripts and docs. Maybe you're going to hate me, but if I _do_ decide to start using C-R based spam filtering (I'm thinking about it for some time now) I will look into tmda first. And even if that doesn't work for me, I'll probably not look into the Mailbox-Sentry-Program. Why? Well, I trust people better if they tell me the pros and cons of their product without prejudice. Saying things like 'SpamAssassin is outdated the moment it is released and it will _never_ work, har, har!' just doesn't help you to make your point. Sorry. Hasn't anyone told you that in normal person-to-person conversations? I've been _very_ busy the past week, basically working from 9.00 am to 10.00 pm and last night until 2.00 am. I've had only four hours of sleep last night and had to give a talk this morning which I 'finished' only 15 minutes before it started, incorporating results from this morning. Finally, I decided to catch up on debian-user and then I get this. Great. Why am I using bandwidth telling you this? So you can decide if it's just my lack of sleep that's making me vent _my_ frustration. Regards, David PS: no GPG, no signature. But I _really_ don't mind if others use them.
