Administrivia

This web page is prepared using HTMLPP, an HTML preprocessor written in Perl by Pieter Hintjens. It is available from iMatix. Of course, neither Pieter Hintjens nor iMatix is in any way responsible for the content of this page.

The colorization was done with Hrvoje Nikšić's htmlize.el package for Emacs. (Ted Turner, eat your heart out!) There is a pointer to it from the NT Emacs FAQ.

One version I use is NT Emacs. My thanks to the many, many people who contributed to the Free Software Foundation and its wonderful set of tools. And I edit the source with Gian Uberto Lauri's version of HTML-helper-mode.

Spam Bait

The following is our policy on spam.

Spammers, please read.

This section is for those low-life scum who troll web pages looking for email addresses so they can spam them. Have a few:

• root@localhost
• admin@localhost
• webmaster@localhost
• abuse@localhost

The FTC's Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) email address

Current board of the Federal Communications Commission:

Chairman William Kennard: bkennard@fcc.gov
Commissioner Susan Ness: sness@fcc.gov
Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth: hfurchtg@fcc.gov
Commissioner Michael Powell: mpowell@fcc.gov
Commissioner Gloria Tristani: gtristan@fcc.gov

Feel free to get some more email addresses from the FCC.

Enjoy!

Human beings, please read.

I've had it with spam. As part of our anti-spam defenses, all mailto URLs on this web page have a bogus (and not very polite) domain name. If you want to contact some of the people mentioned on this page, you will have to edit out the offending parts, but you'll know which ones they are.

Anti-spam resources

• Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is a protocol that autheticates senders before a Mail Transport Agent (MTA) accepts email from them. Get your ISP to adopt it, and start using it yourself.

• Federal Trade Commission spam resources.

• SpamCop, a semi-automated way of fighting spam.

• Sendmail.org calls this site "The grand daddy of anti-spam sites", and I believe them.

• Spam Bouncer, a procmail based set of rules for filtering spam out of your incoming mail. I've used these rules.

• SpamAssassin(tm), a Perl spam filter. Very nice, and easy to customize.

• "MAPS, LLC -- the Mail Abuse Prevention System. We are a California nonprofit company whose goal is to stop the Internet's e-mail system from being abused by spammers."

• The Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email.

• The folks who own Spam. The original, WWII nostalgia food, that is. And their position on spam vs SPAM.
