From: Valdis.Kletnieks at vt.edu (Valdis.Kletnieks@...edu) Subject: Block notification / bounce mails (as in DDOS) On Fri, 02 Apr 2004 14:55:44 +0100, Richard Gadsden <Richard.Gadsden@...betts.co.uk> said: > If you can manage this, start breaking an RFC and throw out anything with > a MAIL FROM:<> And remember to do the world a favor and un-do that change when the immediate problem is past. :) > That should get rid of the bounces but not the annoyed replies from hostile users. > ================================================== > Cobbetts makes its debut in the Sunday Times "100 Best Companies to Work For 2004" > This firm is authorised by the FSA to conduct investment > business. > ================================================= Another good way to avoid annoyed replies is to not have disclaimers longer than the actual posting. My favorite: "... if you are not an intended recipient, you must not copy, distribute or take any action in reliance on it." Do you have any legal citations to justify a "must" as opposed to a "pretty please with sugar on it"? "If this message is being transmitted over the Internet, be aware that it may be intercepted by third parties." http://www.openpgp.org/resources/downloads.shtml and pick something. It's more effective than a disclaimer. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
