Knowledgeable and competant are two different things. If I were not competant, I would not bother attempting to get that knowledge that I lack. I don't know the nitty gritty details about exactly what and how mail servers are encrypted. I don't know all the nitty gritty details about how everything talks and intercommunicates. I do know that that any time a password goes over the internet (not just LAN) it needs to be encrypted as securly as possible. I do know that mail (and other) servers should live in jails. I do know not to run an open relay (take email from any server to deliver to any server, without authentication, and plan to achieve this by only allowing incoming mail). I do know that there is no such thing as too much paranoia when setting up a server. I know to find out and learn what I don't know, rather than to just stumble along blindly. There, that about covers everything that I do/don't know. -Jim Stapleton _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
