We have over 183,000 IP addresses in our local RBL block list, adding
several hundred every day as they hit ancient spam trap addresses.

As for the person who sent a worm to your mailing list using the list
owner's address, your mailing list software should be checking for worms,
spam, etc, and not believe anything in the From: header, or the ``MAIL
FROM'' SMTP command.  The only way to protect yourself totally against
worms that attack the Microsoft virus, Windows, is to replace Windows with
something more secure.

There is no magic bullet that will ``stop our tension for ever'' unless you
are willing to stop receiving e-mail from the Internet.

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't
they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning
anything?  If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five
years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
