Yes, and to be more subtle also see e.g. UMBRAGE in Vault7 [1]. CIA has impersonated Kaspersky Labs, and other agencies/countries do the same.

Why not use TeX/LaTeX instead and also include a link to the code?

The LaTeX below will leave a push-pin symbol in the text, and clicking on it shows the code.

  \documentclass{article}
  \usepackage{attachfile}
  \usepackage{lipsum}
 
 \begin{document}\expandafter\attachfile\expandafter{\jobname.tex}
  \lipsum[1-150]
  \end{document}

Using xelatex, I got only the text, no pushbutton. Using pdflatex, I got a pushbutton, but it was not a hyperlink, just an image. What engine do you use to get this to work?

I ran pdflatex from a 2017 TeX Live install under Ubuntu, and viewed in Acrobat Reader.

Ahh, I think it is a viewer problem. Sadly, most viewers can not handle PDF attachments properly or at all.

> Yeah, as somebody who has run their own mail server for years, #1 is a huge concern.

Perhaps relay the email out via your ISP account? I do that and it works well.

> Having email just down for a couple days while you wait for new hardware to would be a very bad experience.

Perhaps set up a fallback MX that directs traffic to e.g. a Mailfence account when your primary MX is down? Works for me. Also, mail servers can be cheap hardware (an old x220 will do).

No music is the best option, so you can continue work and notice it instantly when someone joins or if you are connected. With hold music you always need to turn the volume down to avoid the loud low quality music. It also makes having conversations more difficult.

The worst: loud hold music that's interrupted repeatedly as if the call is being answered only to play yet another pre-recorded message about "our other offerings" or "your call is important" ...

Ting uses the theme music to The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension and I enjoy it.

Shame their claim that you'll get a human on the phone hasn't been exactly true for a few years now. Recently listened to that theme all the way through three times before bailing.

The main story here is the decrease in EBIT margin (i.e., operating margin) and the development of the monetization metrics.

Just relay it out via a trusted host, in addition to setting up DKIM, SPF, etc.; that solved all the problems for me. My email server is working excellent for many years now (OpenBSD, OpenSMTPD, dovecot) with Rainloop as web-based frontend.

I have DKIM, SPF, etc. but still gets caught by spam. What do you mean by "trusted host"?

An email provider that is not blacklisted and allows relay. I currently use my ISP for that.

Taken from my smtpd.conf:

  table secrets { mylogin = [email]@ziggo.nl:[pass] }
  accept tagged DKIM for any relay via tls+auth://mylogin@smtp.ziggo.nl:587 auth <secrets>

Oh, I see, thanks!

It kind of defeats the purpose, since now the third-party will be able to read all my outgoing emails, and have control over them.

You're transiting over their network anyway -- the jig is already up even without relaying via their gateway.

Connecting directly to the remote (non-ISP) mailserver with TLS shouldn't reveal any message contents.

Relaying via the ISP's mail server though (even with TLS) seems like it would disclose the message contents.

Is DMARC included in your 'etc'? I think thats needed for gmail these days. If rdns, dkim, spf and dmarc are there, try checking your IPs reputation (senderscore) that could be it.

Don't blame Excel if your processes suck. Excel is a tool, namely a Swiss army knife to edit and present data that is commonly used in business. It can be very powerful if you know what you are doing.

Swiss army knife is a good analogy. Sure, it does lots of things, but if you want to do really big work, you'll probably want a chef's knife, or a saw, or a pair of scissors, not miniature versions of each designed to fit in a small package.

That said, it's a great tool to survive in the woods :)

But as clearly indicated in the text, dr. Tannenbaum does not have a problem with how things worked out:

> I don't mind, of course, and was not expecting any kind of payment since that is not required. There isn't even any suggestion in the license that it would be appreciated.

> The only thing that would have been nice is that after the project had been finished and the chip deployed, that someone from Intel would have told me, just as a courtesy, that MINIX 3 was now probably the most widely used operating system in the world on x86 computers. That certainly wasn't required in any way, but I think it would have been polite to give me a heads up, that's all.

> If nothing else, this bit of news reaffirms my view that the Berkeley license provides the maximum amount of freedom to potential users. If they want to publicize what they have done, fine. By all means, do so. If there are good reasons not to release the modfied code, that's fine with me, too.
