that's why I set up a redirection on my home domain for my work address - public stuff goes to work@my.domain.ca, and goes thru spamass-milter.
That way I just need a local filter in my work client that looks for spamassassin markup

tip - if you have a scoring system like spamassassin, set two thresholds. One which sends mail to the spam box, and a second, higher one which sends to/dev/null
On my system, (spapassassin + spamass-milter) I file at 6, and reject mail at 14
I waited a while to ensure that the bayes was tuned properly before adding the reject rule, but if I didn't have it my mail'd be totally unusable...
If you don't have a scoring system, get one:)

I occasionally get some at work (1-5 a week)
At home (with spamassassin, instead of the crappy, big$$ system we have at work) I get 1-5 a month that slip thru the net.
If there are any spamassassin developers reading this, thanks much!
minor detail: voice data is passed via RTP, which uses UDP, not TCP. Retransmission of voice data is generally not worth the effort, so the lighter-weight UDP protocol is more efficient...
>> The techs have been investigating this for a few weeks and I'm not sure if they have found it yet.
to get the drop (assuming areasonably intelligent switch):
(on dhcp client) ping [IP of dhcp server] (to ensure arp entry is active) arp -a [IP of dhcp server] (to get mac address)
(on switch - this is cisco catalyst syntax, but any managed switch should have this feature) show cam [mac addr of dhcp server] (to get port on switch)
a few weeks? should be a few minutes with a 1/2 decent network config...
what fingerprinting tools do you use that can give meaningful info with no closed ports?
last I checked, nmap gets puzzled if there are not both open and closed ports, and we all know that exposed internet ports should be either filtered or open (and open on purpose:)
this is the most reliable system I've seen (I admin ~ 75 win32 desktops). Ghost occasionally fails in wierd ways, which sometimes don't get noticed right away (this is really bad).
You can do it to files as well, which is a bit more useful dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/nfsmount/on/big/drive/billsBox.image && gzip -9/nfsmount/on/big/drive/billsBox.image
for speed reasons you'll probably want to compress on the nfs server, but you get the idea...
caveat: for new installs, remember to make the image before joining the box to your domain, to avoid name-conflict issues
I was actually looking at this as a good thing, since hardware vendors might feel pressured to make more generic packages now...
For example, I have a bunch of dell servers, with dell raid controllers. Their raid monitors only install via RPM, and in ways which rpm2tgz seems unable to handle. If they just released their tools in tarballs where I could 'configure && make && sudo make install' it'd make my life a bunch easier...
And no, I will not switch from Slackware to an RPM-based distro. Ever.
I haven't seen an easy way to disable a service for a few hundred/thousand systems at once, so I cobbled together a quick hack with psservice to turn them off while I looked, since my corporate network has a TON of boxes I don't control which will likely remain unpatched for ages...
My hack follows, but if there's anyone here who knows the proper windows way to disable services on lotsa machines remotely (my hack just stops them) please respond...
Benchmarks aside, I've been running reiserfs on all my boxes since kernel 2.4.5, and I've been completely satisfied with the performance both speed-wise and in terms of recovery after powerfailures.
Hmmm, I was with you up until the 'New York' part. Sounds like great fun.

Well, in climber slang, 'epic' generally means something long, arduous, and scary.
I think WW II definitely qualifies as that.

the latest psservice can change the startup config.
if step 3 above is changed to
FOR
all is well and good

my hack - 3 steps:
1) psservice find messenger| > messengerActive.txt
2) munge file so it's just a list of machine names - a programmable editor like gvim makes this trivial
3) FOR
