What spam have you received from netusa.net? This is a small site with
BOFHish admins. You have bounced mail from me, so I think you just
filter wildly and have ceased trying to help you.
I think we have seen another example of why spambouncer is -bad-.
Especially when it is used over broadly. Who know's how much legit stuff
Mat has bounced back and pissed people off. If he had just deleted it,
they at least would not be pissed at his scripting
Hi,
I need to make something clear. SPAMBOUNCER HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH MY AGIS NETBLOCK FILTER. They are separate. Spambouncer just routes
stuff to my spam filter. The AGIS netblock routes the message to my AGIS
folder, and sends a message back saying, "Send the following phrase, and
you will be put on my automatic approval list." The auto-replies
regarding AGIS have NOTHING to do with Ms. Hampton's procmail recipes.
I got the conditions for the AGIS netblock from
http://www.cyberpass.net/~fekete/agis.rc, and added the reply message,
and the automatic approval to the "approved list" myself.
I use the Lite version of spambouncer, I don't autoreply.

The recipes in question are as follows:
# The next two repipes check adds anyone who has included the password
# to the approved list
# This one sees if someone hwo has a magic cookie has already been
# entered. If so, tell them that they are in.
