The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

junkmail & sendmail (was Re: Email/News Gateways.)

I don't know if that would do much good.

What would be beneficial, though, would be for debian's sendmail package to
take advantage of sendmail 8.8's anti-junkmail features.

There are new sendmail rules for blocking relaying mail from certain
hosts/domains, and i believe rules for blocking reception of mail from
certain domains.

It would be good to have that easily enabled as a standard question in
sendmailconfig.  A maintained list of known spam sites (cyberpromo.com,
answerme.com, getrich.com etc etc) would be useful here too.


On a related topic, there is a program called nntpcache available, which
not only acts as an nntp proxy but it also caches received articles.
Useful for running a news feed for your dialup users without having
huge amounts of disk space and time allocated to running INN. Very nice
program. One other feature it has is the ability to filter out usenet
posts by regular expression - comes with sample configs to get rid of
MMF posts and some others.

I would really like to see this feature in INN itself....anyone know of any
patches to inn which allow it?

I'm really tired of junk email - i usually get between 2 & 5 pieces of
junk email in my mailbox every day...mostly from old accounts .forwarded
to my current account (i dont have time to read news anymore, let alone
post to news). Given the rate of growth, i expect that to be 10 to 15
pieces per day by this time next year!
