The problem I see is as follows. Mail arrives to authors@khufu. It's a machine without spam filter. khufu fowards to you, me, Ivan. I spam filter, spam is rejected. Spam filter return messeage to authors@khufu, which get back to authors@khufu sending more mail to you. But if we are to put a spam filter on khufu, the spammers will see that the spam does not go through, but the spam will not be handed to you and me.

configuartion changes

I got tired of having to answer 30 emails a day for things that could be handled with better wording on RAS. Thus I made changes to the following: person/research/refused.xsl: corrected typos. person/contributions-wait.xsl: corrected typos, added mention of MPRA. person/affiliations-common.xsl wordage for people to search for the institution before submitting a new one. general/submit-new-institution.xsl: same as above. Also, ask for email of *institution*, not their own. more person/affiliations/new-institution.xsl: same as above. phrase-local.xml: rewording of various items to prevent non intended behavior (such as removing old versions, unaffiliating for just a URL change, etc.) person/name.xsl: added wording to encourage people to put a complete set of name variations. Also specified that a name should not contain titles. new-user/initial.xsl: wording to prevent people from adding a title to their name. person/research/main.xsl: wording to make clear that when you refuse an item, you claim not to be the author of it. phrase.xml: corrected typos, added mention of MPRA. person/research/autosuggest-chunk.xsl: make it more clear that by refusing an item, you claim not to be its author. person/research/refused.xsl: same as above. email/user-data-changed.xsl: email/arpm-notice.xsl: user/good-bye.xsl: wording to make clear that profiles on IDEAS and EconPapers are not instantaneously updated.
