Subj : Request for help (Sysops) To : All From : Time Warrior Date : Sun Aug 14 2005 06:57 am From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet As Synchweb and Synchronet itself continue to improve, it will slowly push into the main stream. One thing that would help this along, is if we had superior anti-spam measures. Lets face it, WE DO! The problem is, the BBS Scene is not as coordinated as it could be. When I compile and release my filters, all I am simply doing, is moving my spam to a "Crap" folder in Netscape Mail. Then maybe a couple times a week, I go through and copy / paste as many of them as I feel like doing at the time, into a text file. I do domain bans on spammer domains using Synchronet Wildcards and full emaill addy domains if its something like spammer@yahoo.com). I'd appreciate it if the rest of you would do the same, and email me with your lists from time to time for me to throw in the global release list. It doesn't take much time. It's just moving the spam as opposed to deleting it, then compiling entires here and there whenever ya feel like it and get around to it. Thats how I do it. For anyone who already does this PLEASE email me a copy in a *.zip attatchment. I'm sure Rob has a very large filter and if so, I'd appreciate a copy of that. For any of you who don't have anything, please start compiling it. I'm not asking for alot of anyones time in this, just go through at your own pace whenever you feel like it, and email me when you've got about 50-100 or so new entries. Everyones help is appreciated! This effort serves to bennefit EVERYONE so I hope alot of people decide to participate. If I get 50 entires a month from 50 Sysops, that would be 2,500 new anti-spam entires per month for the global list. As i said, it wouldn't take much! :-) Thanks in advance for your help! -- .---------------------------------------------------------------. | [TiME WaRRiOR] aka [Dave Kelso] AIM: Twar782 | +o Malkavia BBS | | www : synchsupport.net - malkaviabbs.com - xpresit.net | | www$: josephsjewelersonline.com - preferedinsurance.com | | @: time.warrior@malkaviabbs. com | \______________________________________________________________/ --- Synchronet 3.12a-Win32 NewsLink 1.76 * Malkavia - Chicago, IL - telnet://malkaviabbs.com --- Synchronet 3.13a-Win32 NewsLink 1.83 .
