sendmail 8.8.7 includes some spam filter rulesets from eric in the knecht.mc file... very clear and very easy to install... another cool package that i just found is at <http://consult.ml.org/> called spamcan...it dumps everything in a file...although, the patches are for 8.8.6... -jon

Your opinion please on DOS attack ...

Please excuse me if this is off topic; if so, I would appreciate a pointer to the correct list. We've received a few thousand late this afternoon of email messages similar to the below. What do you make of this? Is there a defense other than blocking the alleged IP range? Your opinion appreciated.

Non-ISP companies multi-homing?
by netops 04 Aug '97

04 Aug '97

Does anyone know of any non-ISP companies that have decided to multi-home? Is this a major trend for non-ISP companies running mission-critical applications on the Internet? So far, I only know of a couple, with PointCast being one of them. Thanks, Lincoln Silver FlyCast Communications

His > approach has made Eric Allman's www.sendmail.org page and can be found at > <http://www.gtoal.com/spam/sendmail.html>. Although the code can be tweaked to bounce spam immediately, usually it just tags it with an extra header and allows the user to filter or delete it with procmail or Eudora filters. It implements a scoring system and has been pretty stable for the last month or so with very few modifications being needed to the ruleset any more. (In fact, Tispa members will have been wondering why I've been so quiet on the subject of spam on our mailing list recently - that's why - it's so long since I've had any I don't have much to say on the subject any more :-)) > Graham indicates "Anyone else who is not a Tispa member who wishes to use > this code > must request and be given explicit permission from me." Which is almost always granted unless your surname happens to be Wallace :-) It's really just a way to make sure I keep a mailing list of everyone using the code so I can notify people of bug fixes. (Of which there's been one so far) I was CC'd this mail; I'm not a member of nanog (though I guess I should be; too many lists, too little time) so if there's any further discussion on this topic that I can help with, I'd appreciate if someone could forward me any articles that need a reply or remember to cc gtoal(a)vt.com when you post them. Thanks. Thanks G

Internet Building topology
by Stephen Balbach 03 Aug '97

03 Aug '97

Hi, I am designing an "Internet Building" concept using ethernet. Below is a model using 2 cisco Catalyst 1912's (12 port ethernet switch) and a cisco 2501. Switch 2 is on the 2nd floor and Switch 1 is in 1st floor. Does this look like a viable topology? Are there other/better ways to approach this for scaleability? Thanks for any ideas/experiences. x.x.x.0 /26 (Customer 2nd floor) | | x.x.x.64 /26 (Customer 2nd floor) | | | | Switch 2 (2nd floor) A | B | C VLAN 1 = A+C | VLAN 2 = B+C | | | (cable drop between 1st and 2nd floor) | | | Switch 1 (first floor) A | B | C VLAN 1 = B + C | | cisco (first floor) ip secondary x.x.x.0 /26 ip secondary x.x.x.64 /26 | | | T1 to Internet | |
