There is a great reminder on Copyright
and the Use of Internet Resources - see pages 45 –46 – nice
summary
Dinosaur Home Page – created and
maintained by an elementary student – great example of what kids can

[tech-cord] Exchange 2000 Filtering

[Thomas Voss]

Anyone that uses Exchange 2000 and tried to implement any kind of spam
filtering knows what a pain it can be. I have found an add-on filter for
SMTP services that will filter all open relay emails as well as known
spammer accounts based off of various RBLs such as Osirusoft, SPEWS, or
ORDB. Its called Open Relay Filter and as far as my testing has gone, it
has cut about 80% of all spam, filtering over 4000 messages over a week
period. If you are interested take a look http://www.vamsoft.com. Its
fairly inexpensive for the ammount of filtering it does, about $25 for
the add-on.
