Mail has the best spam protection around > http://mail.yahoo.com From some googling I did the Nickname for the tor.unixgu.ru node seems to be/have been torxunixguxru I used that in my ExcludeNodes. After seeing your post I did some double checking and the IP addys match what you posted here. I would also like to thanks Michael Holstein for bringing this point up (back up?). Although I strongly Disagree with uinxgu.ru's actions. There does seem to be a need to educate users to the limitations of Tor. I look around after my earlier post (Sorry, Nick, et al I really didn't mean to fuel that. I was genuinely trying to be helpful.) and found that there is already a very nice write up in the Tor Wiki on the lines of "can and can't do". I do think there is a need for a more condensed version with a link or links to the nice write up on the Wiki. The condensed version being very to the point. i.e. Tor will not protect e-mail,telnet,etc passwords, Tor wont make you anonymous if you use it to log into your (pre-existing) Yahoo account, etc. Many home users I help have only the most limited concept of computer/Internet security issues and sadly no patience for reading anything the seems even remotely technical. I'm still willing to take a stab at writing it as long as the Dev's will proof read if and make sure I don't make any embarrassing misstatements. I think the hardest part will be explaining clearly what Tor CAN do in a non technical way.
