Unless I'm mistaken, he means that the software is using Russian
standard encryption Algorithms vice something like RSA, PGP or one
of the US Government algorithms or algorithms contolled by the US
(RSA, DES, etc).

The US does the same thing by denying an export license to products
containing a crypto system with more than an X bit encryption key.
As I recall for a long time that was 64 bits, but it may have been
less, and I don't know the current status of such Export laws.  I
think it may have been OBE because of strong easily available European
encryption systems (among others).

As I recall the US Government tried to make a case that Encryption was
effectively military hardware in the context of export laws.

Of course my knowledge of Crypto systems and export licenses and
whatnot is somewhat out of date, and I could be TOTALLY wrong .

"User-Agent" vs. "X-Mailer"

2002-06-23 Thread Martin Schoch

Hello list

  I got today a message where the MUA wasn't indicated with "X-Mailer"
  but

  User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4)
  Gecko/20011126 Netscape6/6.2.1

  Is this a new definition? Seems TheBat! can handle it very good -
  thanks a lot.

Sorry for adding one more message to this dead horse...

Under Xp, and I havent got a 2000 system handy its under the tcp/ip
network protocols of the dialup adapter.  However if you mess around
with it the wrong way the result can easily be no internet...

Now forgetting the original subject as its more a matter of opinion
whats best, there is a very good reason to use IP numbers where ever
you can and where they arent changing.
Many times I have had problems that some nameserver gets confused and
if one specifies one's smtp and pop with the correct IP numbers instead of
using some auto setting, one will find, as mentioned, increased speed
as the nameserver doesnt have to be accessed to find the mail server.
I have been in situations where the only way to get mail to / from my customers was to
use known ip addresses. And,  while for convenience  I may not specify
them in customers systems, the ones I likely will need are sitting on
a printout above my desk.
Secondly from a security point of view the less user specified data is
passed on the better...
Why does one want people to know that its a specific person using a
DELL

More secure??? or less...
I myself am not that fond of the manufacturer of the token as used on secure bat but 
can
