What is Vipor mode?

I am my own ISP.  I have been having real problems with people spoofing
my email and it clogs my system and I have to turn 'sendmail' off to
delete emails so that is probably when emails get returned.  There is a
special place in 'you know where' for spammers and hackers!

Although I just put up a 'greylist'. I also picked up a 'blacklist' and
placed it in my /etc/mail/access file because the recipes I had put into
/etc/procmailrc were also bogging down the system. If you send me the
returned mail I can see what the issue was.

I looked at EMacs again and I have to say I wasn't impressed.  It looked
like gEdit was installed and that isn't too bad, except it doesn't have
split screen!

Thanks to everyone who responded!  It is funny (I will show my age) I
remember arguing about editors 20 years ago with a colleague and he
proclaimed that 'vi' was the best - he would be proud to know that I
am still using it |-)!
