  1. free SPAM filters are not good enough on Seven Spam Filters Compared · · Score: -1, Troll

    I've never found a free SPAM filtering system that even comes close to some of the commercial offerings. I mean these SPAM filters in the review can't even work right when the SMTP server is being used as a gateway server on a DMZ. They lack versitility. What I would like to know is how to make these freeby filters filter spam and then pass it on to an internal SMTP server for final delivery.

    Use telnet.

    Well we wouldn't want people to steal something that they have not paid for. The MS programmers need to receive payment to take care of their families and if you steal the software that they make you are going to hurt them in the long run. This is one reason why MS takes precautions to keep theft at a minimum.

  10. Re:Anyone else notice on New Linux Worm · · Score: 1
    Uhh first it's a Worm not a virus. Second it is the user (Administrator)'s fault because he/she didn't apply the security patches for BIND nameserver software. I'm sure you have an idea what a nameserver is. Well the nameserver software called BIND is what's at fault here not Linux. This worm will not work if you applied the security patch to BIND a few weeks back.

  11. Re:Use the source on Linux Applications And "glibc Hell"? · · Score: 1

    This is why windowsNT/2000 is so much more superior. I can run games that were written for DOS 5.x on windows 2000 with no problems. I can also run games in win 95 that also run in 2000. Same with my MSSQL 7.x. It runs on NT4 and it runs on w2k. Same with Oricle. Also I work with an IT staff of 300 people and not one of them would want to take the time to recompile anything. That would make it not ready for production enviraments. We don't have any need for source code. Our programming departments ( and there are many of them ) will not distribute the source code to the custom apps to the IT department for recompilation. Why? BECASE WE DON'T NEED THAT CRAT TO GET OUR JOBS DONE.

    I store all my email in what's called the "Information Store" on the MS Exchange server. It's transparent and works very fast. It's about 10 times faster than imap and it's secure because if you are not in the Exchange Admin group you can't see other peoples emails. The Exchange server is the industry standard in businesses.

    Well I'm not surprised. You just can't make any kind of money off of Linux or Linux apps. Take a look at the stocks of companies that have some sort of Linux product for sale. It just makes good business since for Corel to dump a project that's causing them to go into the hole. Making software for a OS like MS Windows just makes more business since.

    I work for Charter Communications, a child company of MS because Paul Allen owns it, and we have seen the Xbox in action and it rocks. We will be deploying game servers throughout our cable infrastructure (which is very large) designed to work with GameSpy and the Xbox. The Xbox is a good thing.

  25. Re:Compressed version or un-ISO-ers? on Mandrake 7.2 Download Available · · Score: 1

    He really does not know how to explain things to an end user. Here is what he ment to say I hope. the "losetup /home/user/download/Mandrake72.iso /dev/loop0 mount /dev/loop0 /mount/loop " is actually two commands. The first one is this. losetup /home/user/download/Mandrake72.iso /dev/loop0 This is a command used to map an .iso file to a device called "loop" ( hence loop0 as device name/number ) It bascically makes your .iso image file accessible via the "/dev/loop0" device file. Remember in Linux /dev/files is how you access your hardware and other stuff like networking. I think a loop device is like a virtual piece of hardware that can store data such as .iso files. To access that piesce of hardware we access the first virtual device via loop0 ( the 0 being first ). Now sice we created the actual device file to access this virtual storage device, we want to mount it just like mounting hardrive partitions for access under linux. We use the "mount" command. so mount /dev/loop0 /mount/loop Should make that .iso file avalible to users under the /mount/loop directory on your computer. You might need to create that directory if it does not exist. I would use /mnt/loop so I would first do "mkdir /mnt/loop" and then use the mount command. Also your might need to tell the mount command what the filesystem type is using the "-t" option. I think the file systems name is iso0660 just like the cdrom file system. So try mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop0 /mount/loop That should work :) Hope that helps you out any.
