My company is using GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP 8 now. We have tested GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP. They work like they say they do. They give us very little trouble. It seems like the products from GFI are getting better. I wouldn't say they are perfect. http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID001840 They are building a knowledge base which is helpful.

Portscans/PROXY scans
by John_York＠Dell.com 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

Hey gang, We're seeing an incredible amount of port- and proxy-scans from 211.0.0.0/8, and 0 legitimate packets from the same range. I'm thinking about blocking the entire /8, as noone on our network needs any contact with Asia (I belive those addresses are all in Asia - correct me if I'm wrong). Has anyone here blocked 211.? Any unexpected results when doing so? Thanks, John

All cooling units move heat from point A to point B. The end result is that point A gets cooler, but, and it's a BIG but, point B gets hotter. If you use portable coolers, you have to decide where point B is and can you get away with increasing the heat there? Will you blow the heat back into the development lab? Or into the office space next door? Or into the space above the suspended ceiling which indirectly channels the heat into every room on the same floor? Or under the raised flooring where it can raise the temperature of every cabinet that is not being cooled by the portable units? IMHO, portable coolers are a bad idea. They add noise to the environment and increase the overall heat level due to the consumption of electricty. When we had them in our office for a week, I started working 3 hour days to escape the hellish atmosphere. In the past I regularly worked in buildings that were 35 degrees Celsius indoors (2 degrees C less than core body temperature) and it was much more comfortable than that week with the portable coolers. --Michael Dillon P.S. it would be interesting to know if anyone has some creative solutions to data center design to cope with cooling system failure other than n+1 redundant coolers.

Point of sale RAS hardware?
by Jeffrey Paul 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

Does anyone know of a good RAS product that supports the fast train times needed for point of sale terminals (specifically the ability to turn off data compression, error detection, and speed negotiation)? Most every one I've seen is aimed at serving as-fast-as-possible dialup network access to normal modems, but I need something that will do 1200bps (or even better yet, v.22FC) with no frills. Can anyone suggest a product or manufacturer?

Might you be referring to a "MovinCOOL" by the company named DENSO ? We have one of the model 10SFU-1 - got them from the Grainger catalog. We named ours Snuffleupagus :) Dave Hilton Staff System Administrator entelos(r) Foster City, CA "Linux is like a wigwam - No Gates, no Windows, Apache inside."

Portable Cooling
by Fisher, Shawn 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

I searched the archives and couldn't find anything about a portable cooling units so am resorting to posting, sorry if its redundant. I am setting up a development lab and need additional cooling on a temporary basis. I recall a product called, "move n kool"? It looked like the robot on lost in space. They used to advertise in Boardwatch when Boardwatch was cool. (when Jack was running it) Not sure of the spelling, but wondered if anyone has had experience that or anything like it. TIA Shawn
