As far as the Microsoft update status, I've been granted a Microsoft
engineer who is paying us a visit this week to witness all of this for
himself.

It's not on their web page anymore, but the damage is done.  You can't pull
them back off the spam lists once they get out there.  And to make sure
someone took the blame, they fired their web designer who put the names
online, even though I'm pretty sure they asked him to do what he did.
Welcome to Corporate CYA America.

Yes, but aren't the tests done anyway, just not triggering an action?
Doesn't matter, since I don't want to disable it anyway, but I was curious.
As soon as I dig myself out, I'm going to check out Hijack.

Seperate box running Linux on a separate LAN.  Mail send, receive and DNS
lookups are all done on different NICs.  I can't be sure, but I don't think
there's another Imail installation that looks anything like this one.
Frankly if I had been able to predict that it would grow this big, I
wouldn't have used Windows or Imail, but migrating it at this point would be
a negative experience.

What we really need is stronger encryption and authentication standards on
wireless systems, and for corporate IT guys to realize that you can actually
get on their LAN from the parking lot.  It's amazing how many IT people are
completely ignorant of that fact.  I've been on many business trips where
the hotel Internet access is limited to dialup, but a good antenna hanging
out the hotel window will pickup someone's WAP and give you the use of
someone's T1 line to the Internet.  I've never tried, but I betcha on most
of these you could get into their corporate servers in a matter of minutes.

In fact, I helped a client move his business once, and we moved his WAP
system, only to discover several weeks later that their DSL line hadn't been
working the whole time, and they had been going out to the Internet on the
neighboring company's T1 through their WAP.  When we discovered this (by
accident), the owner actually considered continuing as it was.  They were
always curious why too many systems showed up in Network Neighborhood...
