Proving You Are Not a Spammer? 127

tfinniga asks: "A spammer has recently started using my domain name as 'From:' addresses when sending out spam. I'm worried about my domain being blacklisted, and I'm annoyed by the bounces — I'm getting about 1000 bounce messages a day. Unfortunately, I give out a different email address to each site I visit: slashdot@example.com, paypal@example.com, amazon@example.com, etc., and the spammer is using a different address for each mail, so simple address filtering doesn't work. What is the best way of avoiding being put on a blacklist, and dealing with the flood of bounces?"

Submission + - Diving deeper into Linux

I made the initial switch to Linux a year ago, and now that I feel capable with using Linux from an end user's point of view, and when things go wrong, I can fix them, thanks to Google. I now want to now start to get deeper into it. Are there any great resources, such as websites, wikis or books for someone that wants to find out exactly how Linux works and how to fix and modify it?

Probably because Gaim itself is more like Sean Egan's hobby/side project, so technically it's in no way affiliated with Google. If Gaim was created as a Google in-house project and stood for "Google Amorphous Instant Messenger" then maybe yeah, but it's not.
