I kinda like the way Jason Thorpe handles Official NetBSD Core vs Jason messages: He has different .sigs. One is for personal stuff, and looks like many .sigs on the net (4 lines, phone number, email, full name, etc). The other .sig says very clearly "NetBSD Core" or something terribly similar. Avoids the entire attack in the first place. (leaves .sig in because it's what I'm talking about) (CCs trimmed, I assume all involved read those two lists.) >-- >Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. >http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. >whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc. >Future will arrive by its own means, progress not so. > -- XCOMM Kevin P.
