I don’t know if a domain black list is viable, and it wouldn’t be a magical solution, of course, since, again as you say, it’s just a matter of registering a new domain. But there’s still that additional effort (and expense). In an SPF world, a new domain would have no more than hours of spam sending before being universally blocked for good. Nope, again this wouldn’t end spam. But spam works because it’s incredibly easy and cheap to send millions of emails; everything that makes it even a tiny little bit less easy or cheap makes a difference.

I could buy one domain, myspam.org, and making thousands of subdomains for free using it for senders address.
If the RBL’s instead of listing all my subdmains, decides to block all with something like *.myspam.org, i would buy some subdomains on co.uk making spam from it, doing a mail DoS to all others legitimize co.uk submains. Not that easy to make an domain black list is it?

The “send to a friend” functionality, as currently implemented, is, IMO, abusing SMTP. If you invite a friend in Facebook, the invitation email should be from Facebook, not “from” you, I believe.

You confuse Spammers and Phishers, not exactly the same kind of people.
Even if SPF was adopted by the World, SPAM wouldn’t stop. SPAM exists cuz people react to it, meaning in this case people go see the site and perhaps buys the product. For this kind of people doesn’t matter the sender’s domain, only the Subject, if it’s about viagra and they have a small dick they will open it. Today most SPAM comes from domains senders that has nothing to do with the PUB on it

Who normally sends fake senders address are phishers, but this wouldn’t stop phishing, cuz the real problem is people’s brains size.

Despite believing it could help it’s still possible to use a “sender/return-path” header with a different domain “from” header and the one which is checked is the “sender” one which is the right way in my view.

Imagina the “send to a friend” functionality in some websites. You want it to be identified as you sending but the actual sender to be the site itself so it won’t be marked as spam. Of course this could be used by some spammers to send mails but still obey to the spf check..

At home i have an internet connection plugged into the WAN port of a D-Link DIR-300 router. There is a desktop computer connected by cable and a server computer also connected by cable to the router. I also have a netbook connected by WPA2 and my Nintendo Wii also uses WPA2.

But i have a Nintendo DS Lite which as you know does not support WPA2 and i do not want to lower my network security to WEP. So i bought a wifi dongle.

I would like to plug this dongle into the server and share the server’s cable network access to the router – which connects to the internet. The problem is i use linux on my server and i dont know how to do this. I installed ubuntu 9.10 and removed all packages that use a graphical interface (gnome and than x) so i only have text-mode console access to it.

Can you help me how to install driver, set config?

Thanks.

If you’re ripping through fixes that quickly and there is no other work, change jobs now. There are still plenty of other places hiring talented people. Otherwise you will be stuck with operational work, making user accounts and running the same old system build scripts – at that level you are very replaceable and will be bored and atrophy quickly. If you find that you are changing jobs that often due to lack of stuff to do, then you should really shoot for consulting, where you get something new in your hands every time and have an employment expiration date. Other than that, there is always making new projects to improve efficiency. Maybe there is some better equipment your company could be using to improve efficiency. Maybe some better software to authenticate users under a single account rather than islands of passwords. Maybe pick up a new area in system administration and study to be certified in it – I find it hard to believe you are a pro in every nook and cranny of every aspect of system administration.

Additionally, you should really slow down. What your coworkers know is that if you work at a blazing speed all the time you WILL burn out and this may be what you are feeling right now. It’s the tortoise and the hare fable at work here. Your coworkers may be stretching out their time, but in the long run they will feel healthier. Understand that only YOU will be able to look out for yourself in this area – your employer is out to wring the most work out of you for the least money and if you let them they will work you to death. Will your last words be “I wish I’d spent more time in the office”? Slow down. The job is not always satisfying – no job is ever 100% satisfaction – but less stress will make your current environment bearable. And keep in mind that in these times you are still getting a paycheck.

I like to make stuff for the web so having a lot of mobile browsers appeals to me in that I can verify that I’ve written code that degrades well and has a good compatibility spectrum.
