java.not

Russ and I started a project on java.net a week ago. We're still waiting for approval. How long does it take? It's not like they are swarming with activity over there.

Diego was telling me how he dislikes java.net because most of the projects are dead or undocumented. I'm starting to understand why that is.

Another bright example of Sun's commitment to the Java community, start strong, land flat.

RBL

I'm starting to experiment with Realtime Blackhole Lists to try to deal with the deluge of spam processed by my mail server on a daily basis. Here's my current sendmail 8.x RBL configuration:

FEATURE(`delay_checks', `friend')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `sbl.spamhaus.org')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `list.dsbl.org')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `bl.spamcop.net')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`dun.dnsrbl.net')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`spam.dnsrbl.net')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.visi.com')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `dnsbl.njabl.org')dnl

I got some of the hosts from my friend John, as well as from Jeff Makey's Fighting Spam.

Mein Google TagLib

The Google TagLib is going to be included with this book. Matthew will be getting copies of the book when released. My German is too rusty.
