This sounds like a good way to frame someone. You steal a laptop and then go turn the laptop on and associate with their home AP. Subpoenas are issued. Customer information is released. Police show up and arrest unsuspecting victim. Laptop not recovered.

I'm not sure I follow your logic there. It looks like they're going to get reamed _because_ IBM is on the other side of the courtroom? Have you considered that it might be because they're _wrong_?
Use amavisd-new (perl package that uses Net::Server) or the like. I don't know what smtp daemon you use, but you might want to check out postfix. amavisd-new will let you whitelist certain from addresses. Or, as the previous post suggested, you could setup multiple instances of your smtp daemon and feed list messages through the unfiltered one. This instance could also be use for outbound messages.
Check out amavis-stats, it's a really great package too.
I compiled this and got it running on my dell laptop, but the nvidia drivers (for the GeForce2 Go 5200) won't compile for 2.6.0-test8. This is probably due to driver API changes. I haven't poked around to see if Nvidia is working on it though.
I forgot to mention that this code preserves the \Seen state of the messages.
If you're just migrating from one IMAP server to another, check out the migrate() method of Mail::IMAPClient. You won't regret it. If you decide to use it, make sure that you grab the latest version from CPAN.
I used perl with Mail::IMAPClient to convert from Maildir (Sendmail/Procmail w/modified qmail-pop3d) to Cyrus.
Here is the most relevant part of the perl module I wrote to handle the migration.
Please not that there are several system dependent settings in this function. Our spool was hashed to depth two. I will probably end up rewriting this module to proxy for the user, authenticating as cyrus, which would be much cleaner.
We've been using Postfix/Cyrus in production for a while now and we're really happy with it.
Better yet, what's the point? Has this guy ever had a gf or got laid? What's the infatuation of runnign linux on everything?
Umm...this device ships from the manufacturer with linux on it. This guy is just adding more functionality to it. It would be really neat to see somone setup something like hogwash on one of these.:)
We're currently handling mail for 4k+ accounts using 2 frontend servers running postfix that do all of the filtering and then pass the messages back to our backend mail server.
The frontend mail servers are running amavisd-new which is configured to use spamassassin and clamav. You can use DNS RR or just have multiple MX recs to load balance as many of these filtering servers as you need. Our filtering servers are cheap XP2100+s (w/1GB of ram) in a rack mount case that cost us ~$650 each. Amavis is just tagging the message headers with X-Spam and X-Virus headers as necessary.
The backend server is currently sendmail (migrating to postfix+cyrus). Once the migration is complete, our users will be given access to squirrelmail with a modified version of the avelsieve plugin (wizard-like with radio buttons) that will automatically create sieve scripts to drop spam/viruses into their own folders for later examination. We'll then use cyrus's builtin utility to purge those folders (spam/viruses) of messages that are more than X days old to keep disk usage under control.
I've documented a similar setup that I'm using on my home system here. The only difference between the two (work/home) is that on my home system everything is on one box.
I've heard claims that clamav doesn't work well. One of the 2 filtering servers has blocked 12135 viruses between 03/06 and 05/08. That works for me.:) Our mail system handles (including rejects) ~500k messages a week, so it's by no means a large system.
I agree completely. While I don't like MS's history of monopolistic practices, I don't believe this is one of them. This really looks like Opera is trying to pull the 'victim' card, which would be really sad. A better response would have been to have the 'Bork' version of Opera send a brwoser id of IE6 to msn.com.
Is it possible that their 'Bork' release is an attempt to backtrack and act like it was all a joke or at least add an air of humor to the situation?
they can quit sharing/distributing copyrighted material (which _is_ breaking the law)
we can ask them to do business somewhere else
Their business is valuable, but is it valuable enough to justify the legal liability?
I don't really care what they download--that's their business. It's when they start (re)distributing copyrighted material from an IP that we're legally responsible for. The customer is paying for bandwidth and I, personally, think they deserve the right to do whatever they want with it, as long as they're not infringing on the rights of others. If we don't stop the customer, we're just an accessory to the crime.
No, I dont' work for or even like the RIAA. Neither do I own any audio CDs nor do I have any MP3s. I don't sympathize with them at all. They've screwed up their own business and that of their employees (the artists).
What if you're the network admin at a smallish univeristy where your upstream connection is a burstable link? Where's the "free" bandwidth to "give" to P2P apps?

Thanks for the info (in advance).
I realize that some ISPs do it. I was just curious what they were using. We (the ISP I work for) just block outbound 25/tcp for our customers.

My question was _what exactly_ was the parent of my original post using.
FWIW, we don't really care how much bandwidth our customers are using.
What are you using to detect "elevated mail traffic?"

Yes, because it _will_ (NOTE: not 'can') be used to relay spam to other networks. This is costing other people time and money.
Can you provide some links to the thread(s)?

I've heard that the caching code is buggy (from some developers). Would anyone with experience playing with it care to comment?
