Snagged by the Good Guys

I just got snagged in the spam net.  My non-spam mail server which has 
been running for many years made the MAPS DUL tonight.  I no longer find 
the "Your Anti-Spam Solution Method Won't Work Because..." post at 
slashdot funny.  Well actually I do, but now there is a bit more of the 
old melancholy resignation mixed in.

I suppose I'll have to beg my ISP for delegation of my IP space now. 
It's just frustrating to have to constantly be reconfiguring my systems, 
not just to dodge the villains, but to dodge the goodguys too.  I'm in 
the crossfire.

Imagine if you were into RC airplanes and on every third flight someone 
took control of your plane and smashed it into the ground.  On some days 
it might be a hoodlum.  On other days it might be the FAA.  Doesn't 
matter much to you.  All the fun's gone out of your hobby.  Thanks for 
making the internet suck!  (Said to no one in particular.)

Regards,
Jason
