    in fact msn is kinda cool too, as you can slack off and play solitare all day :-)

    Clearly the poster has not life/sex, is new to slashdot, doesnt understand .com economics, is a communist (cowmooist?), or a server administrator.

  5. Ten times as long to install ? on Critical Eye on SpamAssassin · · Score: 1

    I implemented a whole new email services based on exim 4 + acl, vexim, clamav, and spamassassin.

    So now I reject any windows executable file (inc vbs, scr. etc) reject any virus laden email, and spam assassin rewrites the email, as per its usual configuration rather than risk rejecting false positives. (I could still reject spam but I decided to err on the side of caution).

    It took me all of a few minutes to STFW with google, to get the examples and opinions (to confirm whats already on SA's site) and that was to configure exim, not SA.

    However installing clamav was a PITA, though it was a permissions problem in the end - Ah well.

    Why people want GUI/Web setups is beyond me - absolutly nothing wrong with text files.

    My spams have gone down from about 100/day to about 1 spam every two. I think thats a bloody good thing, tbh.

  6. erm ... on Microsoft Security Whitepaper · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Not necessarily... on IRC in the Dog House? · · Score: 1

    Smaller hosting providers purposely shun IRC servers because they know that they can be a bandwidth burden (not to mention a DDoS target).

    Damn right too. As a small hosting provider, I used to have no end of problems with that. Mod Parent up!

    SCO can't go after Apple as they based OSX on BSD.

    No, prison is for punishment, it is NOT for rehabilitation regardless of what you hippy bleeding hearted liberal open source geeks think.

    It is meant to REMOVE them away from society to PROTECT the general populace from them.
