If you are a mail server administrator TURN OFF NOTIFICATION! ...and here's the "me too" follow-up :P This problem with spoofed/faked senders being sent notifications cannot be emphasised heavily enough. The number of lobotomised amoebas out there who are "managing" (*cough*) mail servers is startling. Out of the 15,000-20,000 messages a day that go through the corporate gateway, about 70% is spam. Of that spam, 45-55% are "notices" to faked senders! Or roughly 1/3 of the mail volume, by message count, is crap from badly configured servers! This whole thing has been a topic of concern on a number of SMTP/sendmail/etc mailing list and usenet groups I subscribe to. Glad it finally made a showing on SLUG. :) --James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] configuring dual boot system
Hi Andrew, well you could use the GAG boot manager, http://gag.sourceforge.net/, which should help you somewhat. Also you can use the DOS based ghost program to backup your linux ext2 partitions if you want to. you can setup linux all in one partition to experiment with. as in, hdb (the second hard disk). If you want to mess with partitioning on the first hard disk then you could set it out as follows... hdagag boot sector hda1 linux boot hda2 win98 (c: drive) hda5 linux everything else. ( to keep it simple while learning...) (extended partition) hda6 linux swap there are many ways to set this up. just let the slug list know where you are at and someone will come up with a solution. Ben andrew wrote: Dear Enthusiasts, I wish to install a fairly recent version of Mandrake Linux on my machine at home.

Any advice on going about this based on personal experience will be greatly appreciated. Apologies if this has been discussed many times previously.

[SLUG] Person in Toongabbie area, to help me with Linux?
Hi, I've been using Red Hat 8.0 for a bit over a year now and think it's great, but I haven't been able to set up everything (eg. network with windows machines). I find it difficult to follow written instructions that usually come through mail lists like this or wading through FAQs, manuals etc, especially because of time constraints. For that reason I'm not a subscriber to this list and I would ask that anyone responding either mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or on my mobile 0416 077 489. So in short, if anyone living reasonably nearby Toongabbie (eg Blacktown, Parramatta, Merrylands, Castle Hill) would be able to help me out and come along for a cuppa from time to time, let me know. Ralph. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
RE: [SLUG] Server being used to relay emails
Title: RE: [SLUG] Server being used to relay emails We get tonnes of calls at work about this exact problem. People receiving emails saying they sent an email to someone else but it was rejected because of an attached virus. It’s the doing of one of the latest windows viruses I believe. It’s a mass mailer which uses addresses in the hosts address book to spread it self and mask it self as coming from someone else. I wouldn’t worry too much about the emails, but I’d be worried if you have your smtp configured to relay. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 30 April 2004 11:32 AM To: Slug List Subject: [SLUG] Server being used to relay emails Hi - Got a little problem. =) We are getting reports back from other servers on the net saying our message from something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] was rejected because of an attached virus. Our server is running Linux 7.3 and it has only started happening in the last few months. Our other workstations use our server as an outgoing mail server, but all workstations use 'VirusBuster II' which updates itself automatically at intervals as close as every 15 mins (usually once every couple days on average though) - workstations are running WindowsXP Has anyone got ANY idea on what could be happening? Has our linux server got a virus? (!?!!?!!) Is someone using our machine as an open relay? (I did take steps to stop that, and abuse.net reports our server as fine) Are our WinXP machines infected regardless of our anti-virus software? Can someone please help? I need to find some angles of attack to solve the problem. I guess it's not really urgent, but the sooner we fix it, the better! =) I will appreciate all help. If you have a good idea on what the problem may be, please email me directly (as well?) because sometimes I seem to miss some messages from the SLUG list... want to make sure I get it =) Thanks again!
