On Sat, 22 Mar 2003, rex just had to get this off his chest:
Any ideas on what the problem is? I've looked at the raw (well, not quite, because all messages go through procmail) message in /var/mail/rex with the same result.
Not a clue. Maybe a MUA's problem dealing with MIME, or quoted printable messages? The FAQ on gnupg.org only mentions incompatibilities between old versions of GPG and PGP.
I'm running Mutt 1.4i. As I expect you know, Mutt is among the best in MIME compliance and there is no problem checking sigs on messages that I send to myself.
your argument is similar to a shopkeeper barring blacks from his shop because blacks indisputably (in the USA, at least) commit crimes at a higher rate than other racial groups, never mind that in spite of the higher rate, the percentage of blacks who are criminals is small.
Wrong analogy. The dynablock doesn't discriminate between ISP's, countries, etnics groups etc., it just says that dialup users should use another way to deliver the mail then directly.
Not wrong: dynablock discriminates against dialup users, even though the majority of dialup users are not spammers.
I'll consider disabling the rule, to see if many more spam appear in my Junkmail box after SA dealt with it.
Excellent! Please let me know the results. If it results in a large increase in the spam messages I may alter my position, which is: when a spammer is identified, invite your 300#+ cousin who enjoys inflicting pain to visit the spammer. If s/he doesn't get the message and quit, disappearance is called for; after all, there are many hungry scavenger animals that need to eat.
As for your political situation.. You get to vote again in a couple of years right?
The person responsible for the current war of aggression LOST the last election by ~half a million votes. If votes were not illegally excluded, he -- the (allegedly) reformed coke snorter -- would also have lost the Electoral College vote. The next USA election depends critically upon the accuracy of the vote tabulation, but unfortunately this depends upon the unauditable accuracy of the vote machines controlled by Chuck Hagel. Anyone interested should try Google with the search string: voting+machines chuck+hagel -rex -- The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty---and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies. -- H.L. Mencken, Baltimore Evening Sun, Feb. 12, 1923
