What would be even more useful would be if you read up on how BIND works.

Perhaps it's time to bar posting privileges from those who insist on remaining entirely anonymous? I doubt that anyone who has anything substantive to offer would need to use a hushmail/yahoo/etc. return address.

Hi Brian, I know other people have posted about this, re almost getting fired. Many companies now are adopting "new" rules regarding employee's posting on listserves. The policy here is that employees must get another address through aol or yahoo or some other free mailserve if they want to participate in listserve discussion. The reason is spam, supposedly. My boss knows I post here, and he doesn't care that I use my work mail address. I'm smart enough to deal with spam myself. (at least he thinks so ;) The point is, that there are many companies now, at least in the Wash metro area, that are requiring employees to use an alternate mail address for any listserves they participate in. Hope this sheds more light on the subject. Jane Brian Wallingford wrote:

And then there are some companies who are now making their employees sign "I will not make any public postings to any internet or other public forum while I am employed by "x", where such posting is not of a strictly personal nature". Literally any posting to any forum that cannot be absolutely described as "personal" is grounds for immediate dismissal. Things are getting rough out there. First it was SLAPP suits, and now they just build it into your contract. Of course, if you sign, then I guess you've got it coming, but still... -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------

There's only 6 of us.. but thanks to this discussion, we have implemented a company policy about participating in listserve using company e-mail addresses (note I am using my personal one here though.. just cuts down noise from my critical email address): HTS Policy for listserves and personal e-mail using work related addresses: 1. Before asking ANY technical questions, make sure you have RTFM and done a decent search on Google FIRST. 2. If you communicate something that implies you have done something that may be illegal or questionable, even in jest, we will not post bail. 3. Please use a seperate address (it can be on our domain) for non time-sensitive materials (most listserv's).
