Wow. So I got a second response almost immediately. With an explanation. I’m glad that clearly there’s been a change over there.

So, back in 05, I ordered a copy of The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy from Amazon. The book arrived.

It always amazes me how slow mass media is, even mass media targeted at tech’s. Network World today posted this article on spammers using auto-responders to get their crap out.

OK so I’ve long been quite opposed to the use of greylisting. Recently I had a pretty major personal mail server crash and that’s caused me to at least give it a try and seriously rethink that. So when I rebuilt the mail server for wgops.com (yes I know, it’s probably STILL blank) I went ahead [...]
