Hi!
I've been looking in to why my mail2news tests have been failing miserably
the last few times I've sent them, and discovered that they are apparently
being subjected to EMP filtering not only by the banana and mixmin
mail2news, but by other forces unseen.  A perusal of
<20090314000502.LPk9c0p7s9t7 at mail2news.mixmin.net> Mail2news Log 2009-3-13
reveals many of the tests being rejected as duplicates.  Yes they are
substantially the same message Subject and body and I can see why they they
would be filtered if they were some sort of malicious spam or whatnot.
I'm not complaining or asking anybody to change anything, though would be
grateful if you did!  I merely have a question:  Have the Remops en masse
adopted some sort of EMP filter at the remailer exit level which had not
existed previously?  How about the Dizum mail2news?  I'm getting similar
failure with dizum but can't determine whether it's the exit remailer or
the mail2news which is causing it.

I suppose I could re-vamp the way I do the tests, scripting it so they
would contain garbage, hashes, gpg data, what have you to try and overcome
this apparent filtering but it's really not worth it to me.  I had a simple
system which fit into my lifestyle.

The mail2news situation really is in the toilet right now - there are
basically 2 alternatives - Banana and Dizum.  Banana = banana, mixmin and
for all intents and purposes Kulin.  Oh where did panta go?  He ran such a
beautimous service!

Thanks for reading my blither.  I'm just trying to gather information so I
can determine what to do (if anything) so I can make an announcement.  I've
got a couple people pestering me for updated results.

Best Regards and Thanks for all you do,
drsnoid
