I'm not sure what's going on out there but the spam rate has increased dramatically in the last few weeks. :( Of 35 messages in today's inbox, all but 3 were spam. :( Since I've got your attention, let me remind you of some administrivia: - Please do not post in HTML or MIME. I will reject such messages with a request to re-post them in plain text. The only non-plain text that I'll let through is PGP signatures. - If I get something in a character set that I can't read or a language I can't read (I read English, French, some German, and a bit of Latin) I'll discard the message on the assumption that it is spam. A huge amount of incoming spam is from yahoo.kr and is unreadable. - Please be considerate about trimming included text in replies. Try to keep only included text that is relevant to the topic of discussion. I won't police this issue carefully, but I may reject messages in the form of: <100 lines of included text> <one line witty comment> - If I get bounces from your mailbox I will unsubscribe you, even if it is a transient error. Why? I have no idea if it is a transient error and if I wait I'll just have more bounces to deal with. If you find yourself no longer getting firewall-wizards that's probably what happened. See below... - The list interface is at: http://list.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards and if you want to edit your options or make sure you're subscribed there is a form for doing so at the bottom. mjr. --- Marcus J.
