Email Policy Notice: Greylisting

Posted April 27, 2005, 6:42 p.m.

Because of a drastic increase in spam emails over the past month, I am re-enabling email greylisting. Greylisting is a great technology that requires mail servers to automatically resend messages (spammers generally can’t leave servers running to do this, for risk of being caught and prosecuted). This will only happen the first time you email me after I enable the technology, and you probably won’t even know it happened.

For the vast majority of you, this all means absolutely nothing and will have no effect on your ability to email me. However, a select few ISPs and email providers have incorrectly configured their mail servers. People who use those services will receive errors when sending to me. If you get such an error, please let me know via IM (so I can manually whitelist you) and, more importantly, ask your ISP to configure their servers properly so greylisting can be adopted on a wider scale.

Quotes

As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

James the Just

The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust.

James Madison

Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

Jesus Christ

By rejecting conscience, certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith. . . .

Paul the Apostle

It is by no means a good thing to be the oldest person at the frat party. It is desperation, masquerading as cool rebelliousness. . . .

Jordan Peterson

We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

In short, [Supreme Court justices] are independent of the people, of the legislature, and of every power under heaven. Men placed in this situation will generally soon feel themselves independent of heaven itself.

It is obvious that tradition is only democracy extended through time. It is trusting to a consensus of common human voices rather than to some isolated or arbitrary record.

G. K. Chesterton

Defending the West is made more difficult by the fact that so many Europeans harbor an extreme anti-Americanism. Many do not accept that the United States is a part of the same Western civilization, and that it stands or falls together with Europe in the face of a new totalitarian threat.

Ibn Warraq

I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.

Thomas Sowell

Don’t set out to raze all shrines—you’ll frighten men. Enshrine mediocrity—and the shrines are razed.

Union bosses talked about securing the ‘right to strike,’ but they didn’t mean the right to quit, which everybody already had. In practice, the ‘right to strike’ meant the right to forcibly prevent others from filling jobs that strikers had left.

Jim Powell

You know, Gina, Apple [Computer Inc.] is like a ship. That ship is loaded with treasure, but there’s a hole in the ship. And my job is to get everyone to row in the same direction.

Gil Amelio

When I was young I was sure of everything. In a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half so sure of most things as I was before. At present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to man.

John Wesley

I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled!

Jesus Christ

Everything human must have in it both joy and sorrow; the only matter of interest is the manner in which the two things are balanced or divided.

G. K. Chesterton

It is the idea that rejecting God . . . will somehow lead to freedom, to complete human fulfillment. As a result [he] is replaced by fleeting human idols which offer the intoxication of a flash of freedom, but in the end bring new forms of slavery and death.
