  1. Re:Encryption? on What is Your Backup Policy? · · Score: 1

    In an era of larger/cheaper tapes/drives and news stories about the tapes being stolen (or unauthorized reading/copying), I should hope encryption is at least an option in the (several-hundred dollar) tape backup packages. Besides, there are plenty of encryption programs for Windows and USB sticks. I want this available in the scheduled backup tape job definitions : )

  2. Encryption? on What is Your Backup Policy? · · Score: 1

    What's a good inexpensive backup package for Windows that saves data encrypted to tape?

    The Help in Backup Exec mentions that the password (if specified) will be required when accessing the files from within any Backup Exec program. I assume that means the data on the tape is not encrypted? I searched Symantec's Backup Exec 10d's online PDF manual but "encrypt" appears to be available only for DLO (Desktop/Laptop Option).

    Maybe NovaBACKUP http://www.novastor.com/pcbackup/backup/n_backup.h tml ?

    But there's a diff between ClamWin, ClamAV for Windows, and ClamAV. Some have command line scanning and/or daemons for cygwin/Linux/BSD.

  5. Re:Clam AV on Alternative Enterprise Anti-Virus Solutions? · · Score: 1

    ClamWin is a GUI program for scanning Windows files using a subset of the ClamAV engine and includes an Outlook/OE plugin. ClamAV for Win32 is a port of ClamAV; no GUI but ports the daemons; much faster than using command line scanning.

    The secondary spam is known as a form of backscatter. Hopefully the DNS provider for the domain part of your email address will allow publishing an spf1 TXT record indicating the legit sources a message claiming to be from that domain or else the message is treated as a forgery and dropped (assuming the record ends with the -all hardfail mechanism rather than ?all or ~all). See http://openspf.org/ and http://openspf.org/mechanisms.html

    I recommend getting a unique spam submission email address at Spamcop.net to email them the full header and message body of each spam. They do all the abuse contact parsing; you simply click a button at their website to send the reports. The abuse contacts are more likely to listen to reports from a major DNS blacklist such as SpamCop rather than some Joe Homeuser.

  9. Re:Third Choice? on Blue Security Gives up the Fight · · Score: 1

    I'm confused; what does publishing reverse PTR records (rDNS) have to do with bypassing Greylisting? Doesn't that depend on the MTA listening for SMTP conversation responses such as "busy; retry later" and actually keeping the message in queue for a subsequent delivery attempt? Or is rDNS required for all listening/queueing mass mailers?

  10. Re:Third Choice? on Blue Security Gives up the Fight · · Score: 1

    Make sure your spf record ends with the hardfail mechanism: -all
    (rather than softfail ~all or neutral ?all)

  22. Re:ORFEE on Exchange Compatible Spam Filters? · · Score: 1

    I second that; I've been using ORF since early 2003. ORF, Open Relay Filter, is a less than $100/per year (regardless of employees/mailboxes/email addresses/volume) software solution installed on an IIS smtpsvc gateway called Vamsoft ORF (Open Relay Filter). It builds into IIS SMTP (5 or 6) transport level, allowing filtering such as: A/MX record check, inclusive/exclusive white/blacklists for email addresses and IP addresses, cacheable DNS blacklists (SpamCop, Spamhaus, SORBS, etc.), Tarpitting, maintains a duration-customizable triplet Greylist database (blocks p&d/spambots/zombies), broken sender FQDN, regex customizable HELO domain blacklisting (e.g., blacklisting non-bracketed IP addresses used as HELO/EHLO), SPF1 record lookups--all performed at either the "Before Arrival" filtering point (before delivery of message header/body/attachments) and/or the "On Arrival" filtering point (when the message DATA/body/attachments arrive). It also has customizable On Arrival-only actions (Drop/pretend protocol failure, Redirect, Tag) based on regular expressions, lookups of body website links against SURBL and URIBL, and external agents such as ClamAV with phish.ndb

    Yeah, but sometimes I wish Jack's method of truth extraction was real...as in really practiced by others, even if only in other popular TV shows. For example, an episode in Season 1 of Lost when Charlie shot and killed the islander who kidnapped him and the pregnant woman. That man had info they all needed desperately, and yet Charlie unloads a couple rounds into his chest while he's about to be interogated by the rescuers.

    No, damn it...shoot him in the leg! And if he doesn't talk, shoot him in the other leg!
