speed is the key here... This thing will eat LTO's lunch. Huge amounts of data and the amount of data to be stored seems to be growing faster and faster.
Tape drives have been striving to keep up. Know any tape drives that can slam back 300GB of data in a (literal) couple of minutes... as in 2 or 3?
Well, as this is a targetted market, I would think that backwards compatibility within the same device family would be a foregone conclusion.... but who the heck knows really.
Check out ASSP. It does it right. NDRs are sent out if its rejected (and has a legit return path) and all email accepted IS delivered.
I am a fan of the standards as well. ASSP has several methods by which it filters mail, and each is completely configurable.
For example I had a curmudgeon client that didnt want any mail blocked, just marked, so I set his up that way, and after a year he had me turn blocking on because he found its performance satisfactory.
Another client had a requirement to retain every piece of email sent for legal reasons... so he has his spam marked and passed on as well, AND we set it up to send EVERY piece of email on to an address that is actually an SQL database that stores and indexes everything, so retrieval is not a big deal.
anyway, investigate it for yourself... I find it a very good product... and its free.
ASSP has a very very low, near zero false positive rate. And in the event of a false positive, if the email is from a real person, they get an NDR with instructions on how to get around it. Its completely configurable.
ASSP can also be used in pretty much ANY smtp based mail server, because it is a proxy.
I do alot of business through email as well, and all of that runs through an ASSP connection. Look into it, it really seems to do the job for me, and I investigated for months before implementing it and much longer than that before I started recommending it. Now I am a real fan, based on performance, not claims. Check it out for yourself.
My mail servers with assp check each smtp connection to make sure its coming from a legitimate host, and drop a suprisingly large number because they dont.
One thing about ASSP is that it doesnt use RBL any more, because they are run by people, and just try to get your domain removed from a RBL run by an egomaniacal 12 year old.
SPF is also a good answer.
I think (because it works for me) that the combination of several methods approach works well, and being able to tune the application to use what you like (whitelists, greylists) and not use what you dont like (rbl) makes ASSP a really great solution. Doesnt seem to really impact performance either. most of my servers process several bazillion smtp connections a year and never hiccup.
No, thats just the percentage of email that IS SPAM. The efficacy is in multiple nines, but its so effective that my users are happy, so why the hell calculate it except to brag? I am in it for the money so I haven't bothered.
wow thats eerily close to the coke agreement with LSU... no pepsi products sold on campus by university... and university gets a bigger slice of the pie than if they sold both competing products... and the little guys can just go to hell... they cant pony up like the big guys can,
There are times to leave the baby crying and times not to. Kids need to learn to comfort themselves as well as recieve comfort and love from their parents. So too some kids need to make horrible mistakes and endure the consequences to learn the lessons of life. Kids who are picked up every time they cry or are bailed out of every spot of trouble they get in, are referred to as "spoiled".
No to be a proponent of the proposed changes (I am not), but how about they just say... leave the system that is currently in place ALONE for the next 500 years (or however long it takes all the current watches and clocks that use it to die) and just interleave the old/new transmissions to allow for the new system? If I am correct, the new system would mean that there would not be any adjustments to the time for 500 years or so... so don you think your stuff would be dead by then? Just stop manufacturing stuff that adheres to the old standard.
Your main cost in your scenario is maintenance... I guess I am just salivating to luck into a $500 a month maintenance contract on something as simple and maintenance free as a wifi setup. Hell if you arent going to charge for it, it just means a $39 wifi router and thats about it.
Technical problems with the proposed setup are between slim and none, barring a hardware failure.
Gee, my brother is en engineer for shell and my sister belongs in an asylum... and my brother in law is an aircraft mechanic, but what does that have to do with what I am talking about?
I am just an engineer/entrepeneur (successful to boot).
You helpfully told me all about your family, but nothing about yourself?
Ya know your numbers are WILDLY off... say $100 a month for business DSL... and $100 for a wireless access point or router. Thats it. If your an electronics nincompoop.. another $200 to get a rent-a-geek to set it all up.
And the revenue model ya have there is a little optimistic. 50 items average an hour is a biiiit high methinks for your average coffee shop.
I was a real fan of prontos too... then we got ceramic tile flooring. 3 prontos later, I decided to look elsewhere, and the harmony remotes are durable and dont sacrifice functionality. They need to make the prontos more durable! My wife flung the harmony at me from across the room (she missed of course and it went crashing into the wall,wall,floor and bounced around. It didnt even hiccup, while it was tumbling around it muted the system, so durability of these units is a big plus.

Did you watch the video? The device itself is HUGE Much larger than the computer you will be attaching it to.
duh, GET MAD!
Yeah there is a rule of thumb... if its not in your control, assume its not going to be done right and be prepared to deal with it.
"rolling stops" get me tickets every time, but the guy in front of me, NEVER... dammit

I dunno, I am really lazy, so I kinda like sitting down to pee, lets me read too.

well if we have exchanged email in the past, he is on the whitelist and I will definitely get his awesome product!
Or I can blacklist his ass.
ASSP
30 minutes to install on an exchange server... filters out all the spam.
I run it on all my clients, and they average about 95% of all mail intercepted as spam with a zero false positive rate.

western... versus eastern, where they just completely censor it?
So THATS where he went.

Put the joint down and back away slowly.
you really should look into terminal services... upload once and do the work on the recieving end to eliminate all that wasted time.
I think it would suprise us all how much 90 year old earl intimidates the casual thief.

Uh Bad bad bad links there... spawn a million messages and you gotta be quick with the task manager in XP.
