Hi Ed & thanks I don't really know much on Linux which like most people is a good reason to go to win2k3. I was under the impression that local machine would need to access root and mail. How do you stop the outside world from accessing either of those. Allen
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Leafe You do realize that the user 'mail' exists so that anything executed in the email system operates with extremely limited privileges, right? And that you can easily write a rule to reject email addressed to any user, including mail? I do agree that you would be better off with a Win2k3 server, though. Security in Linux takes a little bit of understanding, but security in Windows is redundant! _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
