Re: Is massive spam coming from me on python lists?

stuff.

That is just mailman (the mailing list software) keeping track of
things. If there were a bounce, mailman can determine from the address
of the bounce message (the bounce gets sent back to the Sender, not the
From) which address bounced.

So *all* python-list messages you get have that Sender.

In other words, these spams do not come from you.

By the way, why does mailman change the Message-IDs when tunneling
postings to the newsgroup? This destroys the thread structure.

Tschö,

I have no idea. There is no setting in the mailman administration
interface that I can see that influences this.

Perhaps submit this as a bugreport to mailman?

Hi, I'm trying to make a newsletter application in php (using mail() ). This application is supposed to look in a MySQL database and generate a list of emails and first names.

I have a program which starts by reading a lot of data into various dicts. When I moved a function to create one such dict from near the beginning of the program to a later time, that function slowed down by a factor of 8-14: 38 sec at 15M memory usage, 570 sec at 144M, 330 sec at 200M.

I'm coming from a .NET, VB, C background. C was good, and VB was better (with all of its libraries). Than .NET came along and all the libraries you can require are ready to go. I have no preference with MySQL or SQL, stored procedures or ad-hoc queries. SO, I'm interested in using my Google App space (free 500MB) to develop a quick database application. Using Python. I found "Dive Into Python" which I will be reading shortly.
