All of them suck compared to the features of pmail. I used it a while ago, it's free and the author is a nice person. He makes money mainly from corprate client by selling service and manuals.
Right now I have to use mozilla because the 16bit version of PMFW doesn't do auth smtp or imap.
"If anyone has pointers/links to articles on Outlook security, please post. Thanks!"
Yes, I have a TIC solution! Ok, you might check the workstation.inf file you can get to from the NSA's site, I've not looked too closely at it but it should close a lot of holes and hopefully not open any. http://www.nsa.gov/snac/index.html
Pegasus Mail For Windows.

It can do about a billion things, multiple pop accounts, you can set up a mailing list, even a file server. It's plugin based and several have been made for it. It has a filtering system that's quite powerfull, as close to a scripting system as you can get with a GUI. You can even run programs remotely via email if you so choose and set up the right filter (security considerations aside).
The 16bit version runs under wine, but needs to be installed first in windows and it's directory contents copied over and will work if you have normal pop+smtp accounts. Under wine+gentoo/redhat I could not get authenticated smtp to work.
I've not run the 32 bit version but it's probably a lot better.
Actually I think it would be called a collaborative document system which I think exists but have not made an effort to search for.
I am not sure if a group of messages can be selected in Lotus Notes to generate a document, such as an agreed upon proceedure, howto, faq, novel, etc. I know Notes does some very good things and would not be surprised if it also did this.
" If they're actually modifying the software, then they're doing something which wouldn't normally be possible with proprietary systems, anyways."
TIC True, but if it's a modification of GPL'd stuff, should they also stuff the source code in a cute little flash paper book? I suppose if it's a missile whoever they launch it at gets the code and a bonus LOL.
If it's something they NEVER want to release they can just make it a library or other binary code with their own copyright. The fact that they are using GPL'd code to run the binary is a plus in my book, this damnable, screwed up, &^*^%^*, proprietary, money wasting, procurement system is crap.
We will have a military for good or ill, at least let it be a cheep one that works as advertised. I'll of course expect the excellent monitoring done by such people as FAS http://www.fas.org/ to help in keeping them as advertised.
Their classifications override your copyright, besides as long as they don't sell or provide the binary to any other entity they don't have to provide the code and if they do provide the binary (if classified), the recipient has to have that particular classification rating.
This can be of benefit if the code is GPL'd and a contractor or other business that can accept (is allowed) the binary+clearance, they (hopefully) get the code. Which can be a real life saver especially if getting an antique (much of military stuff is just that) working again.
Probably though they'd just override the GPL and ship the binary only.
Military uses of this are wide and deep, both in use and the opening of pockets. Climbing gear, enhanced traction for military vehicles, missle and pod attachment systems, the list goes on.
The non-military applications are equally boundless, how do you want your matrix like decent from a burning building, lugged out by a fireman or walk, well wall-fly down?

Lattice materials are commonly linked to porous metals but buckminsterfullerine and others are also classed in this category.
Metal foam and aerogels also come under the header of ultra light materials but are random in nature.

An age ago a gentleman who is a quite brilliant practical mathematician intervened in a newsgroup. I have lost details of this. I emailed him about his signature line concerning lattice materials guessing what they were and received a brief understandable explaination of them. About three emails later I'd asked him if he had any, he did not but was soliciting venture capital to explore making them. He seemed quite hesitant to even admit this, I think it was the taint the internet would give to any announcment of such a venture. I really wonder if anything came of it, I don't see any product available in the few minutes I looked.

Internal to the router yes. I was unclear, the software I've seen controls from one router to hundreds.
There are several by several companies as addons. Some are a specific program, some operate in a browser. There are limitations in each, the more they do the more they cost. Some control just a companies routers, some control many brands.
Direct to a router is slow and difficult, about on par with manually setting up iptables. What I need is addon software for remote router management that is available commercially. It has to be very simple and non-threatening, especially at first, no CLI, good tool tips, a massive searchable help guide, some presets, etc. It needs to offer access to every thing that a router/firewall can do, everything, the user must never be forced to use a cli ever. It has to offer rock solid security as all operations are remote, even though they will be on the intranet.
It's not for me, it is to make using any free OS as a router+firewall as appealing as possible.

Their new product?
Batteries shapped like Zippo lighters.
Is it deactivated? Or does it just not set off the alarms and not show up on wal-marts systems?
Would there be a reason for it to be quiesent but start transmitting again upon receipt of a signal or after a time delay?

I want the whole damn thing made free. All of it, it's been in the hands of monopolies too long.
Allow low power TV transmitters. Figure out how to allow the maximum number for the maximum variations.
Allow these to be used for any use but do not allow ads, they can beg for money and accept individual donations but no corps can play.

This is a bug in the way long URLs do in slashdot when using POT, the feb0 3 needs to be feb03.
Sorry for the inconvienience, till I find a simple slashdot-html editor I use "not so plain old text" and some URLs never come out right.

I loath this, I want a card that they can't touch unless I pre-approve it.
I'd use a gift card but Visa/MC won't allow recharging it and a bank will whack you with overdrafts.
Is there a CVS like system for notes/messages/babbling/drooling?
I don't think CVS is a perfect fit, perhaps there is another way.
Actually the code is in the missle, catch it if you can!
