When you get there -- drop me an e-mail first. It obviously
does not belong on this newsgroup, but there are some interesting kinks
in the way sendmail is started and messages are inserted in OpenBSD.


Good to know, you'll have mail shortly.


O.K. Just make sure that it does not exceed 30k in *total*
size, or it will be blocked here. (A way of keeping most of the virii
at bay -- though they won't hurt anything here, but rather just be an
inconvenience. A *big* in convenience in the early days of a new virus
when I may get 300+ copies in a single day. :-)

Oh yes -- and is there a non-spamcop e-mail address for you?
I'll probably just drop things if I hit a challenge-and-response type of
service -- just general principles.


Nope, I don't do the challenge/response thing anymore, and unless you're
in one of the dozen or so blacklists I scrub with and/or write to me
about mortgages, viagra, or whatever else, I'd see an email immediately.
I'm really pleased with how well spamcop filters stuff while not blocking
legitimate messages.


I'm not that pleased with spamcop. Every so often, my address
winds up in their database for a day or two, as a result of some spammer
forging my e-mail address. They (or those who feed them reports) really
don't do a proper job of checking the actual IP address which delivers
something and verifying it against the domain name. :-(

Enjoy,
DoN.
