I would say that overall the thing is a joke. Someone with a supposed copy of the iemmc remove list grep'd for a regex I gave him and determined that my dummy account is not on the list. So much for responsible bulk email. As I told him, I can only guess that at first the iemmc remove list was just dumping addresses to /dev/null...and then someone involved with iemmc must have thought "gee, we have this list potentially being built that has nothing but valid and currently used email addresses...this beats skimming addresses from usenet or the web." The answer to Randy's next question is "Vixie's blackhole BGP feed". Gotta get me one of those :) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <[email protected]> | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/message.
