Same here. The unfortunate problem is you no longer are able to know for sure what happened on the receiving relay. All you know is that you passed it off to your smart relay. Sucks for the times you have to troubleshoot.
Yeah. That gets rid of the problem, right? On a *PERSONAL* mail server over the past month (multiply by several thousand, probably more, at least, for a typical company's mail servers):
$ grep -i spam/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
1803 (got through all of my rejection code, analyzed as being spam)
$ grep -i greylist/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
4697 (how many mails from places I don't normally communicate with)
$ grep -i pre-greeting/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
487 (mail servers spewing shit before my server greets them)
$ grep -i 'you are not'/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
4 (helo or from address trying to be me or my server)
$ grep -i 'user unknown'/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
216 (dictionary attacks. Probably a lot more of these, but other things I do stops this crap. It would be much higher if I weren't dropping SMTP from most of these abusive fucks on my firewall...the list of blocks is around 200ish known networks now)
$ grep -i 'Misconfigured'/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
28 (Mail server sending bogus helo address...rfc1918, not FQDN, etc)
$ grep -i 'RBL'/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
1383 (on the spamhaus or dsbl blacklist)
$ grep -i authorized/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
6 (trying to send to one of my mailing lists. Again, probably much higher, but other traps catch the crap before it gets this far)
Keep in mind that greylisting tends to get rid of a lot of the dictionary attacks (as do some sendmail options that I have enabled).
I'm sure the resources used by your ISP for every user to deal with this stuff could definitely be put to much more productive use elsewhere. They could most certainly reduce operating costs if they did not have to deal with it.
Unless, like me, you like to keep your laptop handy near the sofa to look things up at random about what may be on tv or whatnot. The noise is irritating. Even more so that if I run the thing on battery, the drive will spin down and be quiet. I wish it would do the same thing while plugged in. Actually, I guess it would if I took the time to configure it, but I'm lazy:-)
It's that it's *EASY* to get that control. Just start at init, and follow the trail. You don't have to be a programmer to be able to really customize linux to your heart's content. I do most of my stuff with perl and shell. That, to me, is the beauty of it.
Many of the things I do easily with some trivial scripting in linux would take a lot more effort to accomplish on other platforms. Being able to use stuff in/proc, for one example.
Are due to the 'programmer'/'sysadmin' not knowing wtf they are doing. SQL injection, Methods other than get/post, exposed admin pages, etc. This stuff, in my experience, is rarely a problem with the OS or web server itself, so these statistics are somewhat pointless.
Upper management should be disallowed from having vendors talk to them unsupervised. The real value in IT is solving business problems. Many times what happens is upper management has been sold a solution by a vendor that doesn't really solve any particular problem, and then we are forced to implement it. In pretty much every case, when this happened to me, I could have led projects to do it cheaper, faster, AND better. I swear, the manager at my last company had stock in Cisco, and the Director (of course) in Microsoft.
If management had instead gone to IT and said "This is what we need to do" then the real value of IT comes to light as we can work on a solution to that problem, or maybe even give some insight into "Well, with technology, that problem is actually this..let's solve that".
Welll, at least you were taught about transform matrices applied to computer graphics. It just sort of hit me all of a sudden one day while watching some PC demos that everything they were doing is what I had learned in my spaceflight dynamics class!!! Cool! (the next month wasted hacking some stuff just to prove to myself that I could do it)
At least I was pretty far ahead with the physics though:-)
IIRC, AOL does sell a business-class AIM gateway product, which is actually pretty nice.

Adobe To Port AIR To Linux

No thanks.
Google took that approach with picassa and the results are horrible.
Native GTK please. If gimp, pidgin, sylpheed, gvim, etc. can be cross platform, then certainly it wouldn't be too large a task for a company the size of Adobe to do the port the other way around.
Also, require a prototype within a reasonable amount of time, or no patent. It takes no real resources to draw a picture and write a description. The patent itself should not be the product that you profit from. If you have no intention of creating anything with your patent (or helping others to create with it), then you have no business having the damned thing.
I dunno. I think if a teacher shows respect, they will get it in return. So if the teacher is good at, well, being a teacher, I would think that they are likely to not be slandered on the Internet or IRL.
All well and good, but why, then, do the lawyers profit from the punishment more than those who were actually hurt by the problem? I wouldn't even care about making money from the deal, but to get a few dollars or a coupon in the mail over something that may have cost me hundreds of dollars while the bad behavior was going on is insulting and is certainly not just.
And where were the parents? Surely they could have (SHOULD HAVE) helped!!! How hard is it to simply turn the computer off? Parents should be guiding their children to have a balanced life. They are the ones at fault for not parenting their daughter.
But (and I'm truly naive here), has there ever been a documented case of people stealing CCNs by sniffing? It's always something else. Chicken and Egg, I know, but still something to think about. If I wanted the numbers, I'd find an easier way to do it (although I guess finding the right person at an ISP to bribe could be pretty easy).
Prince isn't really a has-been. Until he started this nonsense, he was a hero of mine for breaking free of the big labels and running his own studios. And didn't you see him perform at the superbowl last year? Even in the downpour he laid it down. That man can play guitar. If I ever get back to vegas, I definitely want to check out 3121. Prince has had a great influence on many artists, and has helped many of them along the way.

If there's no legal implications, then how do churches get to evade taxes? Sounds like a great deal if anybody can declare a church.

Heh, reminds me of a ITT Tech article on ED I just saw (Possibly NSFW):

Wasn't someplace saying the exact opposite about a year ago? (dogs have more benefit than cats)

I don't know where the article is, but I swear I remember it, maybe even posted here on

Faster, yes, less problems, likely not.
People who do not have the time to be parents, perhaps, should never have kids? Just a thought.
And where were the parents? Surely they could have (SHOULD HAVE) helped!!! How hard is it to simply turn the computer off? Parents should be guiding their children to have a balanced life. They are the ones at fault for not parenting their daughter.

I rented the first dragonlance animated movie this weekend. What a pile of crap! I was expecting it to be somewhat bad, but it was horrible!
At least they haven't ruined the darksword trilogy or the deathgate books yet.
Brad and Angelina? WTF, dude, didn't you see that the news today is that Lindsay Lohan has posed nude? Sheesh!
