first thing is testing and the best thing is feedback
yes crash reporter's help but the best thing is real feedback about what actually is stressing the engine
are javascript functions that rarely get used the best use of the engineers time ? knowing what is going on and what really stress's the engines is profiling Profiling is a good thing Hard to do right without actually asking real users to do it
I welcome the fact they actually doing it themselves and building it out in a open way !
if you want to filter for humans simply present a bunch of images and have the person spot the cat among the dogs
then apply the spam filtering (simple stuff really works you can even just use spam assassin plugins for content ) to get rid of the spammers posting urls and rubish and denie based on IP if you catch spam unless they contact you somehow
seriously first i would maybe give them a call or send them a support email asking exactly why this is the case and then if the service is not satisfactory i would move my email storage to a different place stop paying them and put a default filter to forward the email to my new address
update all my contacts with my new address indicating the problem
you can vote with your feet and money... that way corporations listen
I dont understand your rational.. google least harm ? they take all the email off site and you cant control anything and they have downtime (everyone does but least its in your control...) : Blame it on google
microsoft ? most lock in ? there are loads of tools to get data out of the exchange system live same problem as gmail : exchange is expensive
yahoo : hosted there may be a lock in to standards... zimbra best solution out of these what stanford went with : again expensive for zimbra clients
first how do I backup the system ? ( what your really asking is if your software system fails and it will all systems fail (e.g. gmail outage for a day) how quickly can I recover?)
we get attacked by a certain type of worm can I insert a rule into everyones policy to get rid of that ? (its been delivered the filters did not catch it I want to reach in and take it away)
how do i get a log and bodies of the email sent out of the system for legal ?
how do I control the sending policy ? (I dont want just anyone sending mail on behalf of my domain some people i want to restrict to only email inside the domain )
how can I add all the address's before people arrive ?
then take a look at the way the U.S. Navy fly over iraq etc...
privacy ? if they want to follow you they will
the best joke I heard was that emails from RIM devices where secure, people who claim that never have had any security clearance NSA keeps all the log's get over it
exactly what is the aim ? I presume extortion of money which if you look at the online scam seem's to be the endpoint of most spam email why take this any more seriously than others ?
spam filters should be able to trace then endpoints... yet another reason why SPF and DKIM should be more widely deployed...
maybe the FBI might want to focus on forceing ISP's to identify who the sender is via technologies such as DKIM...
Slashdot Mirror
exactly combine this with DKIM and a external reputation system....
(looking at ones navel is fascinating but knowing what other people this is spam is a good idea)

they (google) are not so wonderful for bussiness stuff for personal stuff I like them but they seem to put a lot of bussiness email in the bucket...
oh well try explaining that to the CEO "well google trains the software not us"
exit stage left
USN has been doing it for years so has the german MAD
remember security is an illusion

hi
how do you tell the difference between messages that Facebook send out and messages that spammers send out ?
you can
They implemented DKIM http://www.dkim.org You Can !
paypal and ebay both do this and now facebook...
Please simply ask your admin to implement DKIM !

YAY port 587 is a great thing !
but are they going to sign their mail ?
now that would be a good thing so people can not FAKE a @Verizon.net address
google paypal yahoo etc do this
if Verizon did it people would start to respect @Verizon.net
simple if I get a Verizon.net address and it pass's the DKIM then I know it came from their domain
but a big WELL DONE ! someone with a clue got this done !

but the first thing to do is look at how these have been deployed
I dont see anyone with production systems on a large domain using anthing other than redhat directory or Novell eDirectory
I see some custom OpenLDAP servers scale really well but thats about it
so given your choice above I would go for Fedora Directory Server and hack
if the choice was mine I would spend a little money and get the Novell eDirectory

yes its exchange internally
openNet is what they brand it as
feel free to correct me with evidance that it was not the case any more but I know 2 exchange servers there and this say's otherwise
exchange has the recall ability and so does lotus notes
most other servers do not have this feature for very good reasons l

www.johnjones.me.uk my blog about email and digital communication
some CA's use MD5 the question really should be which ones
they point to a rather doomsday scenario of having a problem with all SSL Certificate Authorities
this is not the case
only the ones that use MD5
so the question really is what is the list of SSL Certificate Authorities that do this ?

I completely agree !
system migration and the ability to get at data in a standard way i VERY important

John Jones
ok well no I am not as wise as you !
seriously
first i would maybe give them a call or send them a support email asking exactly why this is the case and then if the service is not satisfactory i would move my email storage to a different place stop paying them and put a default filter to forward the email to my new address
update all my contacts with my new address indicating the problem

very true i would hope that yahoo is pushing zimbra and microsoft exchange for exactly these reasons !
I dont understand your rational..
google least harm ? they take all the email off site and you cant control anything and they have downtime (everyone does but least its in your control...) : Blame it on google
microsoft ? most lock in ? there are loads of tools to get data out of the exchange system live same problem as gmail : exchange is expensive
yahoo : hosted there may be a lock in to standards... zimbra best solution out of these what stanford went with : again expensive for zimbra clients
yes I have to agree legal and the ability to control your own world
do you pay for it I guess not because you get a differant level when you pay....
yes i am going to say it...
you get what you pay for !

Hi there
first how do I backup the system ?
( what your really asking is if your software system fails and it will all systems fail (e.g. gmail outage for a day) how quickly can I recover?)
we get attacked by a certain type of worm can I insert a rule into everyones policy to get rid of that ?
(its been delivered the filters did not catch it I want to reach in and take it away)
how do i get a log and bodies of the email sent out of the system for legal ?
how do I control the sending policy ?
(I dont want just anyone sending mail on behalf of my domain some people i want to restrict to only email inside the domain )
how can I add all the address's before people arrive ?
how does it work with mobiles ?
there's a start

(I was marked before)
I just get bad checksum so there is a way to advertise... say its (A)GPL and then not provide the source !
links anyone ?
they used to produce a PHP implementation of active sync I have not seen a MAPI (outlook compatible) version or anything other than a webmail....
has anyone actually got any details on the technical side of things I can get to their website as drupal keeps buckling under slashdot effect
can I simply hook up outlook to their server ?
