  1. Did this with mutt once on Email Clients with Encrypted Archives? · · Score: 1

    I once wrote a patch to mutt which caused all messages going into sent-mail to be encrypted to myself. It worked, but it became annoying when I wanted to search my sent-mail using an external program, because nothing could read the messages.

    Instead I wrote a little script run from cron which moves my sent-mail to sent-mail-(date) and encrypts the whole thing. This runs once a month. I find it's a good compromise between security and usability.

  2. uvscan by McAfee on Anti-Viral Software for Unix? · · Score: 1

    McAfee's virus scanner for unix is called uvscan. I can't remember the URL where I found it, but Google might be able to sniff it out for you.

  3. qmail doesn't allow VRFY on Do You Permit SMTP Verify? · · Score: 3

    I like qmail's handling of VRFY:

    VRFY user@hostname.com
    252 send some mail, i'll try my best

    I've been using qmail for quite a while with no problem. I wouldn't worry about disabling VRFY.

  4. edmunds.com on Online Car Buying? · · Score: 2

    Though you can't actually buy a car there, edmunds.com has lots of great information available. They may have more info about buying online now, I haven't been there since I bought my car last year.

  5. Re:HP Colorado Drivers? on Cheap Tape Drives for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I have the 14GB and you don't need any drivers. Just compile support into the kernel or "insmod ide-tape" and you're ready to go.

  6. Avoid Sony SuperStation on Cheap Tape Drives for Linux? · · Score: 2

    Avoid Sony Superstation drives at all costs. I found out the hard way that they are not Linux compatible at all. I've been using an HP Colorado (7 gigs uncompressed) without problems. I don't know that it qualifies as "cheap", but maybe one of the smaller HP's will do the job for you.
