[Linux-aus] Spam :: Linux Device

[Chris Debenham]

Andre,
Perhaps if you wish to be taken seriously you should introduce yourself
more fully.
Explain who you are, what your technical background is, links to source you
have written /contributed to,  things like that.
By showing a background in related development it would lend credence to
your words.

in which way then?  you simply saying that hardly explains anything...
(or makes it so) I do understand that you believe that, but lets move
from belief to fact? So, simply say what it is that is not
understood/comprehended.

 no, actually not. see, so you can learn something

even from a vague amateur spammer :)

SA works by 'judging'  an actual received spam - and a dnsbl rejects
spam before your email server receives it as the sender is blacklisted
(or accepts email on a whitelist basis - my system does that for ipv6)

there are various dnsbl

not sure what to say to all that. I guess, the best answer is that my
subject is not belief or emotion or anything vague :) - it is science

you either are an expert in your field - or you are just an expert -
everyone these days is an expert

Maybe spend the time and re-read everything that I have written and
then if you like I can teach/help/explain something to you - but be
exact in what you do not understand as the subjects are rather involved
and many on the list probably know the basics already

As this is a Linux list - with many many programmers and well skilled
Linux sysadmins - I am very sure we can all quickly figure out what is
what :)
