My apologies to spamming Sean - here is the link to the tale: Personal Message: Brilliant display of chutzpah and social engineering. The brazen airport computer theft that has Australia's anti-terror fighters up in arms By Philip Cornford September 5, 2003 URL: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/09/04/1062548967124.html -----Original Message----- From: Sean Donelan [mailto:sean@donelan.com] Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 2:13 AM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Don't forget about physical security - Australia Two people dressed as computer technicians entered Australia's mainframe data center for customs and intelligence centre at the Sydney International Airport. They impersonated EDS technicians hired to repair the mainframes. They spent two hours disconnecting the mainframe communications equipment. They then put the equipment on trolleys and pushed them out the front door past the guards.

Cisco 6500 with Sup2/MSFC2/PFC2 or with Sup720. If you don't need a full routing table you might even be able to do it with a Cisco 3550. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug(a)nethelp.no

Aside from Juniper, what are the options for wire rate filtering and policy routing (for at least 1Gbps and say 500+kpps)? As usual, private responses will result in a summary to the list. Thanks

Hans Reiser would argue that that reflects a limitation of the filesystem, rather than of qmail; and that apps should not have to code around such unreasonable filesystem limitations. And reiserfs goes to considerable effort to achieve good performance on directories containing thousands of small files. This would imply that if you're going to use qmail in a high-volume environment, you might consider using reiserfs, also. Jim Shankland

I have been a UNIX geek for quite a few years and in that time I have had the pleasure or displeasure of working with many mail packages. The 2 that I had the most exposure to was Sendmail and Qmail. Now barring any flames about sendmail, once I had exposure to Qmail I will never turned back. Qmail was developed with security in mind, it has never had a security bug in the years it has been available, it is scalable, reliable and easy to administrate. Now I will not bore you with every spec or detail about how it runs but even Hotmail.com uses Qmail as it's MTA. This the one of the leading webmail sites in the world with between 80-100million accounts, and still running strong. I would definitely put my vote to Qmail for any organization, any size! - Robert Bridgham > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of > Fisher, Shawn > Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 11:03 AM > To: Nanog List (E-mail) > Subject: BMITU > > > > This is my first post so please be gentle. > > I would like to get some opinions on the Best Mailserver in > the Universe. > Is there a more appropriate list for this question? > > I have looked at Communigate Pro, IMAIL, and others. > > I am interested in integrated solution that can scale to handle 500k > accounts > > Any experience good / bad would be great. > > Thanks > > /SF > >
