oh ...  these guys start asking the mailing list with their
"I've lost my disk" stuff ... I get about 10 mails per day
telling something like that ... about 5 of them from ####@####.####
which nicely kills my procmail and some to the primax for linux
support account and some to my private email address ...
the first time I still answered them ... now that there's a direct
link to primax.nl on our project's page I simply delete them ...
building a procmail rule would be too tricky and would kill also
questions about primax scanners and linux.
I've also thought about sorting out everything coming sent by M$ Lookout,
but this might also block guys only having internet at work.
Any ideas?

Perhaps the link to primax.nl shouldn't be in FAQ sections (win guys
aren't used to read such things) but on the very first page with H1 style
:-) Or, maybe better, instead of mailto:Christian Ordig, you could make a
link to page saying with H1 "using windows? go to primax.nl, using linux?
mailto:Christian Ordig" :-). They should understand this I think...

I think it's definitely a bad idea. I don't like windows, but sometimes
I'm forced to use it.

best regards,
Michal Kostrzewa

P.S. Thanks for commiting my code :-)

that's what stopped me from sorting out Lookout stuff ... too many people
are forced to use it ;-(

had some free time ;-)

To keep the list quite clean I'd suggest adding a feature I have on nearly
all mailing lists I'm subscribed to: only subscribed addresses can post to
the list. this would require everyone sending with the same address he is
receiving with.

Suggestions?

Hello folks, 
hello Christian, 

I *do* believe that you are tired of win related 
questions like the one posted to this list yesterday;
 
But - most of us are forced to use win sometimes; 
And - none of us was a native born comp guru, all 
of us started using computers some day in the past 
and most of us then asked such intelligent and 
serious questions ;) 

Means: I'd like this list and it's owners, maintainers 
and members to stay patient and tolerant, and to keep 
this list open for *any* primax scanner related question. 

By the way: when this list was spammed by miserable porn mail 
some days ago, there was less excitement and discussion ... 

Christa

I'm not really tired of win related questions, but I'm
tired of giving always the same answer - which can also
be read in our FAQ.
  
> But - most of us are forced to use win sometimes; 
right. there was no Unix/Linux/Win discussion ...

<joke>
you divide porn mails into nice, good, bad and miserable?? *gggg*
</joke>

that's why I suggested allowing subscribed addresses only to post.
and about the porn mail: the days the last spam received I was quite
busy ... so I simply did the same with them as I do with (nearly) every
primax-win releated mail receiving ... ^D (I love mutt for this ... no
stupid mouse clicking ... just keypressing and everything is fine :-)
