Just wanted to let everyone know that algebra.com is becoming a much more filtered node. Two things to be aware of: 1. I use a lot more of general antispam filtering. I use several dns based spamhaus blackholes, a access control list from wirehub.net, and my own list of spam patterns. At request of other nodes, I can share what I do which at this point has become rather effective. Spam that passes through other nodes is more difficult for me to eliminate. 2. (more controversial). I eliminate all traffic that I receive from, or that was sent to, one particular cypherpunk node, as well as everything that was sent by the node's owner. Essentially all traffic that is related to that node goes to the bit bucket. I am rather tired of both the content as well as the network bandwidth consumed by that node. I send nothing to that node either. The goal that I personally pursue is to make the list more readable to me and to use less of my bandwodth. I am not even sure how many valid addresses are subscribed to algebra.com, since I transferred a lot of them to minder.net a while ago. igor
