I am such an idiot
Dec 29 2004
So before I left for vacation I wanted to make sure my mailbox doesn’t explode while I’m away, so I added a brutal procmail rule to really get rid of all spam.
:0fwc |spamc-2.63 -f
:0
- ^X-Spam-Status:.*Yes /dev/null
Unfortunately I didn’t notice the header also contains the string
tests=BA**YES**_00
. You should see my face when I realised I
have nuked all my december mail.
In czech we have a saying to measure twice before cutting. Lesson learned. If anyone reading this sent me something important in December, please resend it. I am more sorry than you can imagine.
