My non-spam mail server which has been running for many years made the MAPS DUL tonight. I no longer find the "Your Anti-Spam Solution Method Won't Work Because..." post at slashdot funny. Well actually I do, but now there is a bit more of the old melancholy resignation mixed in. I suppose I'll have to beg my ISP for delegation of my IP space now. It's just frustrating to have to constantly be reconfiguring my systems, not just to dodge the villains, but to dodge the goodguys too. I'm in the crossfire. Imagine if you were into RC airplanes and on every third flight someone took control of your plane and smashed it into the ground. On some days it might be a hoodlum. On other days it might be the FAA. Doesn't matter much to you. All the fun's gone out of your hobby. Thanks for making the internet suck! (Said to no one in particular.) Regards, Jason
