Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Sorry for the -hackers posting here, but this will reach the people most likely to be affected. Despite their frequent protests to the contrary, uu.net remains the single largest origin of spam abuse for our mailing lists and their policy of apparently re-selling dialup access to secondary ISPs who do *not* necessarily have to have stringent anti-spam policies of their own only makes this even worse. After the most recent spamming from one of "uu.net's" dialups (and god only knows which affiliate is actually responsible for it), I've taken it upon myself to add them to freebsd.org's spammer list. This is a purely provisional move until we figure out how extensive the side-effects of this will be, it perhaps becoming a permanant block if the problem does not abate and not too terribly many folks are inconvenienced by it. From those who will get much less spam as a result of this move, I also doubt that too many tears will be shed for uu.net. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
