I was gone all weekend and was checking my mail server remotely, I was wondering what all the extra unusual bandwidth was coming from. It was only until I got back to my apt. where I was able to check into it more, not only did I/my mail server have a rare increase of spam; the new spam messages seemed to pass through the filters I have in place. - -- David Michael Dinner <ddinner () obtix net> 570/947-3110 Owner, Obtix Networks: http://www.obtix.net Personal Site: http://obtix.org Public Key: http://www.obtix.net/~ddinner/dmd.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAjbnlRhWeHDT6eBERAsVXAJ95KcZFMkKQ3HNU/jGhPXCdlCBK1QCeLzFr DyaVIZ6GfsUIG5ltpXYlQvU= =y3ZR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
