419 spam, collect the whole set! Maybe forwarding them to each other would be best? Mu, it's a chuckle. vol0, as long as it doesn't fill up from snapshots or data, shouldn't be a problem. Several of the filers I work on have root vols named something else entirely: /images or whatever, the same sizes as the other, data-only, vols on the box. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Bartels To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Sent: 2/11/03 11:15 AM Subject: spam It would be nice if the administrator of this list put in some spam control.

If memory serves, this happens because when the Spam controls were put in place (only registered subscribers can post), then Netapp employees were no longer able to post because they receive the list through an internal remailer/exploder. It was decided at the time that having Netapp able to post was more important than preventing the occasional Spam. What I find really interesting is that the only Spam we ever seem to get is variations on the Nigerian thing. I guess nobody thinks Network Appliance administrators need to make money fast, or make certain things bigger. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Remedy, a BMC Software Company -----Original Message----- From: Charles Bartels [mailto:cbartels@openharbor.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 10:16 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: spam It would be nice if the administrator of this list put in some spam control.

INFOMATION
by MR PETER OKATOR 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

FROM: MR PETER OKATOR EMAIL:peterokator@mail.com Attn: President/CEO First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction; this is by its nature of being utterly confidential and top secret. Iam a Sierra Leonean businessman. I was formerly into the importation and sale of medical equipment in my native country, Sierra - Leone. My operational based was in Freetown, the capital city. In recent timeover the radio and national tabloids round the globe, you must have heard about my country regarding huge sums of money stacked in foreign banks on different names for business. I believe is a legacy as some of the money that was taking from us are being utilized for they private use. It does not matter whether you are small or big but your ability tohelp me sort out things I do not justify but it has happened, so I need you to help me survive in life.I got your contacts through personal research and out of desperation Idecided to reach you through this medium. I will give you more information as regards to this as soon as you reply and I repose great confidence in you hence my approach due to security network place on us and I hope you will not let me out to security personal. In January 1999,when the second civil war broke out in my country, the Revolutionary United Front Rebels, who invaded Freetown, burned my office and warehouse. In that attack, I lost all my properties and assets. I was left with virtually nothing, except some money I had in the Bank. When the United Nations sent in troops to quell the rebel's onslaught and there was a relative peace in Freetown, I returned to business, but this time, I invested my resources in the Mining of Diamond through the help of a third party, some Lebanese who were very much versed in the industry to Antwerp in Belgium. The returns I got from this business were quite good and my life was gradually picking up again until early last year when the Sierra-Leonean government banned private exportation of the Diamond at the international market. The U.N.obliged the government and it is now illegal to sell/buy Diamond emanating from Sierra-Leone. Following the action, the government of my country clamped down on all businessmen who had made fortunes selling Diamond. Consequently, most of my colleagues and my newly acquired properties were seized again putting us to total confusion,frustration and hopelessness by the present administration in my country and we where subjected to psychological torture by the security agents in the country. Some of my friends are still under detention, although arrangements are being made for their release, now I have no confidence with anybody within my country. You must have heard over the media and the Internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by some diamond dealers in different banks abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our money confidently lodged there on outright blackmail. In fact the total sum $850 Million Dollars, and they are not relenting to making some of us poor in life. I had no option than to leave the country immediately. But I did that only after I was able to first move some money out of my country. I had US$21.500,000 (Twenty One Million, five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my domiciliary account in Freetown. I had to move the money out of the country through a very secret arranged channel in a very unconventional method by my friend an official at the "Security Minting & Printing Company" of my country. Presently, the money is in an Oversea Country, under the custody of a private security firm whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. The help I am seeking is someone who has the capabilities of receiving the US$21,500,000 because I am on self-exile in south Africa from where I am trying to work out my traveling documents to enable me travel abroad. All you need to have is a Power of Attorney from me, empowering you as the recipient of this fund. Secondly, after you collect this money, I would want you to help me get a permanent resident permit in your country. For your effort and the expenses you may incur in the course of this transaction, you will be entitled to 15% of the total sum. But we shall have an agreement to the effect that you WILL NOT take or spend out of my (85%) money until such a time when I am able to be with you. Please reach me on my communication lines as stated above. In response to this message, you should remember to include your full name and address as well as your telephone and fax number so that I can reach you. I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused you. Waiting for your reply as soon as possible Best Regards MR PETER OKATOR.
