On x86, there is no direct equivalent to this.

You might take a look at the mail client in Mozilla 1.3. I've just switched to it. After a little setup and a few days "training", it's moving over 90% of the spam to a "Junk" folder. I don't think it uses any any RBL. It honors my mail filters before checking for spam. And, I get to look at the stuff in the Junk folder before I delete it - just in case there's a false positive.

Of course, the first thing was to install RH8. All went OK but now, after Grub selection and when kernel is booting, the computer freezes after this: PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode; will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xbfa0-0xbfa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xbfa8-0xbfaf, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio Here the computer stops without messages and led keys don't change ( Num.

Most people probably don't want to use it. It has nothing to do with spam. Theu target only one range: all of uunet. Their beef is that uunet's technical contact from the whois record is wrong. Use their RBL and you just shut off all domains which are clients of uunet. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have - -happened but none stranger than this.

No. Well, for some people maybe. But realize that there is another problem: the sysadmin who gets TONS of grief from 209/10/11 IP addresses, and does not have the knowledge or the tools yet to adequately fight that grief, and who (although knowing that the solution is too sweeping) blocks those three Class A blocks because AT THIS POINT IN TIME it's the best he/she can do. As I was saying, we must improve our ability to fight spam in other ways so that fewer sysadmins take this (admittedly inferior) route. >DUL lists are even more "stupid" since I doubt that there is an effective >manner to determine with any accuracy what IP address in Boreno (for >example) are part of a DHCP group assigned to dialup lines. Unless, of >course, one takes the view that they've never heard of Boreno so it must >be a poor country and thus all they have are dialups Ed, while I will agree with you that there is lots of discrimination on this Earth, that is not the only possible cause of stuff like this. Another perfectly valid way to determine which IP's are dialup lines is to contact a whole bunch of ISP's. Again not perfect, and subject to change, etc. but not necessarily based on "Boreno is poor, fuck 'em". I am not defending the blackhole lists here... simply stating that there are other valid reasons (in addition to the discrimination which does exist, not instead of it) why such tools get created and how they get used. -- Rodolfo J.

I don't see a MASQ command anywhere in your iptables, but then again was only able to take a very quick peek. May I suggest that you download and run Shorewall (www.shorewall.net) instead of using lokkit? I have found it extremely easy, intuitive, and powerful, and I'd bet you have your configuration properly set up and working in about 30 minutes with it. -- Rodolfo J.
