    I work for a company that provides WiFi. We keep things simple, and just charge the vrnue of the hotspot for us to offer service there. Costs are kept down by using redundent low cost equipment and DSL instead of T-1s.

  6. Re:Proving a negative... on Brightmail Denies "White List" Deal With Spammer · · Score: 1

    sneakemail and spamgourmet are two services that let you do this sort of thing. Sneakemail creates addresses that are good until deleted, spamgourmet lets you create sddresses that are only good for x number of emails (where x is up to 20). I use both, and only get spam from spammers that have managed to guess my email address.

    Bleh, I have an italian name (one or two great granparents, I do not remember right now) and think people randomly acusing me of having mafia connections is funny. But I don't have a stick up my ass.

    Nope. If I did, I'd turn mozilla mail's simple html rendering, for messages on which it's needed.

    I simply turn off HTML email. It's not that hard. We get bucketloads of spam, but the images don't show up, because I read mail in plaintext, and havew it set so I have to click on attached images.

    We do this at my work place. All our linux boxes send their logs on to a logging server, which saves the logs localy, and saves them to a mysql database on a another machine, using an account that only is allowed to insert.

    My box was 0wned a while ago. They got my password when I ssh'd out from a shell account on a compromized machine (that'll teach me to trust other admins) and got root by using 'sudo bash --login' and entering my password. They installed suckit, and then started scping something from somewhere while I was logged in to X. I noticed, and promptly powered off my DSL modem, and got to work cleaning up.
