Hey all
A friend just told me that Cybernet told him there is a Switzerlandwide Internet Problem.
Does anybody know something?
Cheers

I don't know anything about proper spammers. Greylisting has reduced the
amount of incoming spam significantly, probably at 90-95%. Of course there
are spambots which play around greylisting, but they aren't yet that widely
used.

some greylisting packages have their whitelists already pre-filled in the
distribution package, so it works quite well (we used
http://policyd.sourceforge.net/ , and I have no complaints about this
software, and neither do the users.

if we charge drinks for every such occasion, we will easily become alcoholics.
I would prefer Sushi :-)

I would prefer to condamn the responsible person to offer a free beer to the participants of the upcoming SwiNOG meetings... (or Vodka if you prefer ;-))
But we are starting to be off-topic...

Hi all
In the last months we've seen more and more end-user
questions, vacation-bounces, off-topic and spam-like mails on the
list.
Any suggestions how to keep the noise level low in
the future?
Kind regards,
Viktor

If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth checking out:

it's a quite interesting tech talk show. The guys are discussing
various interesting topics, sometimes in quite sarcastic way :)
In yesterday's show one of the guests is Whitfield Diffie, one of the
names in Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol :)
actually about a year and a half ago there was a new spambot which was
re-sending the message after a temporary reject. But it did it
precisely in 4 minutes after the first rejection,
and never tried again. So, increasing the greylisting timeout to 5 minutes
has solved the problem :)
