Hi!
While trying to send a PM to Sascha D?rdelmann I got a quite strange
message from my mail host. I send this message to the list for two
reasons:
-
It is the only means I have to inform Sascha about that problem.
-
The problem again raises the question of using how invalid mail
addresses used on the list and in the newsgroup should be made up.
It is no problem if a mail address contains some ‘NOSPAM’ or
something like that which one can identify but it is not very
funny if a mail address looks valid but isn’t.Perhaps the FAQ should contain a statement on invalid mail addresses?
In the specific case I do not think that Sascha’s mail address is
invalid. I rather suspect anti-spam measures that when installed
without Sascha’s explicit writteen consent are prohibited by
german laws and may be punished with up to five years in prison.
To Sascha (legal stuff):
Sollte der Provider tatsaechlich ohne dein Einverstaendnis einen
Spamfilter eingerichtet haben, der Mails derart abwimmelt, macht er
sich nach Paragraph 206 Absatz 2 Nummer 2 des Strafgesetzbuches
strafbar. Einem “Unternehmen zur Uebermittlung anvertraute
Sendungen zu unterdruecken” kann mit Freiheitsstrafen von bis zu
fuenf Jahren geahndet werden und ist damit beileibe kein
Kavaliersdelikt sondern eine ernste Straftat.

Hi!
Ich habe gerade einmal nachgesehen: Offenbar war der Umlaut in deinem=20

den Google zerhackst=FCckt hat :-<
Vielleicht solltest du besser news.individual.de verwenden. Da muss=20
man sich nur anmelden, kostet nix.
