Posted for willowisp and callicrates but others might be interested too. Here is how I have spamassassin set up at work and at home… I wanted to have a system that SpamAssassin runs mostly by itself, but when it learns something wrong I want to be able to correct it. 1. .procmailrc edited for the following:
More spam blacklist fun. There is a cool tool called “SPFILTER” that automatically downloads the newest copies of several blacklists, and creates a combined output in several formats. (Bruce- maybe you can help me install this on mail8,9 Monday.. :) # mkdir /usr/local/adm/spfilter/ # cd /usr/local/adm/spfilter/ # wget “http://spfilter.sourceforge.net/spfilter-0.59/Makefile" # make all # perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> install XML::Simple cpan> install XML::Parser cpan> exit # perl ./spfilter.pl -verbose -format=sendmail,bind SPAM RELAY

Hmm, it’s been a while since I made pickles. This time I made 4 jars (1L each). 2 are cucumber and onions, and 2 are carrots, onions, yellow bell pepper. All have fresh dill, and fresh garlic. Brine solution contains: water, cider vinegar, champagne vinegar, white wine vinegar, raspberry vinegar, sugar, salt, yellow mustard seed, pickling spice, dill seed, dill weed (dried), powdered ginger, onion flakes.
Something I am thinking about working on this month. This is probably only interesting to anti-spam advocates, sysadmins, and other hard-core geeks.
For those of you who watch Good Eats but don’t read , Alton Brown has posted another Rant, this time on cattle-raising practices. Also, if you want to keep updated on Alton’s Rants, there is an LJ syn feed of his blog at alton_brown. It doesn’t have the whole entry, just the first line and a link, but at least you will know when something new is posted.
Angie has probably already seen this! If not she should take a look. Thanks to ysabel for the link.
Everyone please welcome mconnor who is sort of skeptical of this LJ thing but willing to give it a try. (She is my sweety if you didn’t guess :) If you already know her RL or virtually from Pern etc. please give her a welcoming comment.
Thursday: Interview with some startup in Mountain View. I think they like me, but I’m not sure if I like them, or rather, if I would like to work for a startup and have no life again. Oh and the site melted at work while I was at the interview. Oh and Bruce is leaving, which is going to be good for him. Friday: Left work early to meet with a recruiter (“We have to meet before you can interview with them again” Ok Sure). Anyway it was my first time at the BART station in Millbrae (wow that thing is BIG) and it was my first BART ride in a long time. BART is cool, I wish it ran farther south, the crappiest part was driving 101 in the rain to get to Millbrae. ...
I traded in old invite codes for a coupon, and since I have a permanent account, I decided to share the love. I semi-randomly selected 9thmoon and arkady to get 2-month extensions (since you two were closest to expiring). Enjoy, and don’t forget to trade in those codes.
