You may have misunderstood me. I'm not advocating that everyone install TMDA. I'm advocating that TMDA be installed at freebsd.org, and used to filter mail to the lists. If you're arguing that spam reduction software is inferior to arresting the spammers, I won't argue. The problem is that we're a long way from being able to arrest spammers, and the spam reduction software is here now. There's no reason we can't use what's available while waiting for something better to become possible. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
