What was it about eD 2.4?

2003-07-31 Thread Tina M Berendt
Given the recent interest in resurrecting and maintaining the old Caldera distro, I thought I'd take a minute to ask everyone to quantify what it was about eD (or eS) that was so great. Was it the file layout? The installer? The GUI tools? What? I used and loved eD, but find it hard to say why

Oops. Bad sentence. I realize blocking domains is different than rbl's and ip addresses. I should have split the two ideas up. I use RBl's, but I don't agree with blocking out IP address blocks or domains for the reasons already stated. The customer switched ISP's because the problem with the

Good point... but I'd need more specific real-world details in order to respond since I've not found too many instances where RBL's have blocked an ISP's email servers. Those that I am aware of, the situation has been resolved quickly by the ISP and generally a Spammer gets ousted. On Thu, 31 Jul

I am also not afraid of RBL's since I AM in control of my email servers. The only thing that scares me about RBL's is people using them without understanding what's important. It's kinda like choosing an Email server. Those who are clueless choose Exchange and plug it into the Internet... and pay
