That anybody even knows about M.Jackson is evidence of the failure of mass media, particularly what should be "news". There were a LOT of other far more important events taking place while that distraction consumed the attention of cable media stations. This incident clearly shows that watching cable news is bad for your mental health by the injestion of falsities and illusion, and the denial of useful fact.

Any predictions to how low the dollar will go?

What about that segment of the economy which does not participate [much] in import or export? Does it matter? Do consumers then purchase local/national products rather than imports? Does the low dollar benefit normal people, or only the huge international corporations and exporters? Thanks, Ardent [ to CONT, (J)UMP or (Q)UIT ] CONT Tacker: avoyager () Subject: regarding ..

This is the only practical way for mail systems to function. Most of the best blocks can be implemented before DATA is reached in the SMTP transaction. Once the mail host has the message, it may as well pass it on to the users mailbox; in fact it's their obligation to do so.

Open Relay Uses? Date: 17-Jun-03 01:58:29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open SMTP mail relays aren't so much the problem these days; and there aren't very many in the U.S. Spammers current techniques are to send mail through open HTTP Proxies, like AnalogX, running on a gazillion home systems connected to cable or DSL. Another current scourge is to use victims addresses in the return-path, and send to systems (including AOL) which don't check for valid user until they've accepted responsibility for delivery. Once they (i.e. AOL) discovers that there is no such user, they dutifully send the original spam back to the forged sender which could in fact be you. This is very rampant these days.
