Open the box again and check the cpu heat sink. If it is not getting very warm, it could be loose or poorly sealed with thermal material. That could make for intermittent heating problems. You might have to remove and remount the heat sink. On Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 12:42 AM, Derek Trotter

I just got the beast rebooted after doing so. The progress indicator got to 44% when the bottom of the screen turned red and numbers started scrolling so fast they were a blur. So I'm guessing the several million errors it found before I rebooted it just might have something to do with it.

Spam control? (was RE: virus)

Some time back I thought the best solution would be to form a co-op. Members of the co-op would run some sort of program to detect spammers, and then join together in a DOS attack on the spammer's MTA. Detection should be pretty easy, I'd think, with minimal false positives. When I thought
