Heck, I'm not even a business, and I prefer to run my own mail servers, thanks. I have full control over what comes to them, how I'm authenticated for smtp, etc. If I need a web interface, there's squirrelmail (I haven't had to do this yet, however, since I can do imaps and authenticated smtp with tls, or even pine over an ssh session, if necessary).
I realize this is not for everybody, but for my own use, I can do it better than gmail (mimedefang, milter-greylist, aliases, procmail, spamassassin...all configured exacly how I want.). Flexibility is a great thing, and it pretty much runs itself.
Now if only blackberry BIS would properly implement IMAP.
Manager at my last job was *very* sneaky about my being 'let go'. They did it to me during my performance review. Totally took me by surprise. My co-workers found out about it at the same time, in a separate meeting. To keep some dignity, they let me come in after hours to clear out my stuff. Despite being 'fired' I received my full bonus, severence, and collected unemployment. Even with politics, I guess they feared what their former lead security analyst might have up his sleeve, not that I really cared or had planned for something like this (I really loved my job. politics after a re-org were the problem).
that's a pretty fucked up attitude. Perhaps the employee is at a point where they have grown beyond where the current place can offer them any promotion or challenging/interesting new work? In fact, once you have mastered a job, you tend to automate it to the point where you become bored and need new challenges. You certainly can spend the time transitioning knowledge to other people. The notice also gives the company that time to do that transition. You don't even need privileged system access for that type of thing. Escorting people out the door just because they have decided they can no longer grow within their current position, especially if they have done years of good work for you is pretty arrogant and stupid. How about chatting with the person about why they want to leave and see if there is some good option that benefits everyone instead?
Seriously. Just be 'on call' if they have problems. Since you can't do much by physically being there, what difference does it make?
if they won't do that, ask for severence and be on your merry way enjoying the time off.
I wasn't so lucky. I was 'fired' (new management didnt' understand my role as lead network security analyst, and even worse, feared my knowledge). But because of that fear, I got a severence package and most of the bonus I was promised for helping an outsourcing initiative (no, it wasn't me who was replaced through that). I was also able to collect unemployment. The downside is that I had to explain why I was fired in all of my interviews.
Just curious...what did that hub do to your performance? Did you analyze that at all? I did that one day to sniff some things to troubleshoot a problem, and it did not go unnoticed by our ebusiness group.
AV is completely wasted money. Patching isn't. Especially for systems that expose that particular service to a hostile network. Internally behind firewalls, not as much of a threat, but should still be addressed. It all comes down to risk assessment. AV simply tries to solve a user stupidity issue with technology. That will never work, while making your systems less stable and more costly to maintain in the process.
And you trust your health insurance companies? Their sole purpose is to make profit. We'd be much much better off without them, paying doctors and hospitals directly.
on the other hand, many times doctors aren't very good at seeing the problem either. After all, they can't feel your pain, they can only take your description. Resources that allow you to educate yourself a bit so that you have a proper background and know better *what* to tell and ask your doctor are helpful. At least they always have been for me. I'd much rather go to massage therapy to deal with this nerve problem I'm having than have surgery or a cortisone injection (yes, the ortho doctor, despite not seeing much more than a little irritation in an MRI suggested both of these! No way!)
...but if this thing is as slick as the roku soundbridge, methinks I'll finally get a netflix subscription. I love my soundbridge (well, not this weekend while rokuradio was having mysql backend issues...is that fixed yet?).
Which is why her parents are also at fault. Why was this girl unable to talk to them about these things? It's pretty sad, indeed, when your own family is in the dark about your life, or you don't feel that you can talk to them about events that make you want to kill yourself.
And what if they're mucking around screws up the data...which is MY PROPERTY. Same with the device itself. How does one sue the government in this case, constitutional illegality aside.

Yeah, god forbid you lose your entertainment and information. I think I like that to the alternative physical invasion with bombs dropping on me, not that it justifies anything.
Critics are morons. Every movie I've ever done to see and checked Yahoo Movies for, the critic and users ratings have been opposite. IMDB is the same way if you consider the ratings before it actually comes out. Epic movie had an 8.6 by opening day! And a 2.3 a week later. Yahoo critics rated Epic movie like a B- or something and users gave it a D-. And they had the balls to give other movies I and other really liked really low ratings. They watch too many movies and they're douchebags so people should really stop listening to critics.
As a sender, yeah. I'm sorry but unless you actually want mail from me, you're not going to make me jump through hoops to send it. This is a broken design. Not to mention all of the automated emails from online business transactions you would lose. Not a good idea.
Use whatever you want for your internal mail server, but use sendmail with miltering for your internet facing relays.
With sendmail, use mimedefang, spamassassin, and milter-greylist (actually that last can be implemented yourself in mimedefang, I just never had the time).
The nice thing about this solution is that it does not require you to pay some third party a huge amount of money each month, while doing exactly what they do (actually better), and it is fully customizable to fit into your environment (want to do a virus quarantine? Custom rules per employee? do interesting things based on different domains?). You can really get to pretty much 0 false positives while removing all of the cruft with this solution.
In sendmail configuration, use greet pause, bad receipt throttling, and all of the privacy flags.
For your mimedefang filter, add rejects for these things:
- relay is in the spamhaus zen list or dsbl.org blacklist
- helo of sending relay is not FQDN or IP Address
- sender claims to be from your domain
- relay's helo claims to be a system on your domain
- relay's helo is RFC1918 address
For your spamassassin (which now that you are rejecting obvious stupidity, won't be called as often, saving CPU and Disk cycles on your relays!) use automatic SARE rules.
Train your help desk on basic mail troubleshooting (greylisting can be troublesome at first) so that they can help with the trivial stuff rather than call your mail admins all of the time. Give them an interface to see what is going on in the logs.
Doom 3 was ok. I would have preferred to play HL2, but alas, I have no windoze boxen at home. Hopefully Doom4 will have a linux version to give me something to do when I'm bored at home.

a) probably. b) no.

Businesses shouldn't be using those for internal communications anyway. Set up a jabber or irc server internally for that.
Use whatever you want for your internal mail server, but use sendmail with miltering for your internet facing relays.
