Good idea. I could do this from my Linux shell account on ibiblio. The
problem I see is
that using Pine to create the fake id will screw up all email I send out
using Pine
with the bogus ID, when I may want to receive replies. I do a lot of
mail filtering
and post processing with Procmail. Using Unix mail might be possible but
I don't see how to create
a bogus mail ID there without screwing up my other mail activities. The
only possibility is
for ibiblio admins to create the bogus email ID (alias for
london@ibiblio) that I could use,
_if_ I could run a second copy of pine, or even elm or mhmail and plug
that ID into it
as sender - then I could filter out all incoming spam (i.e., all
incoming email) to the bogus ID
with procmail. As it is I have hundreds of spam each week to deal with
on ibiblio and wouldn't want
to have to deal with the possibility of more.
I have already wasted too much time and good resources on
alt.permaculture already -
the jerks that loiter there don't appreciate good pc information anyway
- pearls before swine almost.
I have killfiled all of them so I can enjoy the ng. I may post something
about the list from time to time
but I'd rather someone else do that. Maybe Keller.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Lawrence
