I have repeatedly said that I do cope with it. All I have said is that there is no need for people to have to cope with it if the list server handles mail in another way. I cope anyway.
I hear that, but that is how it works here. Other have privacy which IMHO is nice, but having some real email makes overall feeling much better.
I am also pointing out that spammers do sometimes gather information this way. This is factual. Fortunately the majority of spammers aren't very intelligent.
Don't underestimate anyone. They have no interest to harvest email addresses of group where majority know how to block most of the spam, or report spam which can make a trouble to them.
It also a fact that email headers contain information that defeats one of the major useful aspects of firewalls.
Sure. It reveals a lot, but that is a life, we can't have privacy and appear in public.
Henne may well be the list owner but he can not say that the changes can not be made only that suse are not going to make them. ...
There was long discussion and vote at the end. Guys that wanted anonymity lost. Henne just counted votes and applied what majority wanted. I was in privacy camp, but after some time without much spam problems, I changed the camp.
I'm also glad to here about the send only account. I might find that useful in the future. Techniques used by the more intelligent spammers eventually spread. Some outfits use them like mail shots. They don't cost much and only a few need to reply to make it worthwhile.
That is an idea too. If you provider gives you no options to blacklist addresses and domains than gmail is your friend. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
