hi laura, thnx for the support before. maroon text is from the maroon
marooned at home (5 to 8), blue is for me at work (8 to 5). look, people
this is as ascii as i can make it without bringin up my old telex. doubt it
would work anyway, was gonna turn it inta a planta or sumtin.
there are antivirus people who post info to this list, sell their product in
their taglines, where it belongs. check the archive. de-somethingorother.
general principle section:
you can't have enough protection. wisdom is a defense, knowledge is a
defense, the excellency of knowledge is that it gives life to them that have
it. for me, the best AV strategy has been:
lightweight, unobtrusive, unlike yours truly. what i mean is, don't run your
av from the server desktop as if you were j_randomuser. do it like
j_randomhacker. in udda woids laura, find da ones dat run as services. high
level tools laura, but in da soiva biz, high level is not a desktop exactly,
that's da usa's high level always, and da admins high level sometimes. high
level means on da soiva (ding me if i'm wrong sumone) dat it runs as part of
a served app, not as a standalone app.
what, you got 2 gigga ram? run it anyway you want. no hurt, much good!
in ADDITION to all this, take an old throwaway box and put as many AV's on
it as are practical and interoperable (ex, f-prt and mcafee, OR dr.solomon
and nawtun.) find da operability bruddas by followin da money. find out who
owns what and what else. in dese days a biznis con-sol-ee-day-shun it's eazy
to fine da wuns who are owned by da same guys.
once you're loaded up wit' AV sw on da ws, have it map all your network
drives that you want scanned. put it on the same segment, same yada, insert
standard disclaimer.h here.
cfg y scans, fire for effect.
i've never caught a virus at home... that's a challenge out and out. hey
buddy out there somewheres... you don't like me? ok, do sumtinaboutit. but
check this first... http://www.patmathews.net/resume.htm i eat virii for
breakfast, one person made it, with a solid reproducible config, and a good
'proven to be restorable' backup... you can't be beaten no matter how hard
they try. don't get taken. don't open sumtin y don't know where it's from.
don't install software known to attract int41/2600 types. don't serve news,
i hate it dat my employa does through an upstream joeboy. makes us a tahgit
ova heah

Subject: [IMail Forum] virus scanning for iMail
Sensitivity: Personal
What are you using for a virus scanner? We are looking for anti-virus
controls for our iMail server.
We primarily use Norton on all workstations, file servers and on our
Exchange Server. We use iMail primarily for a list server, and a few
outside mailboxes. Is anyone using Norton Anti-virus for Gateways on
iMail? What is everyone else using? Is anyone using something they really
like and works well?
thanks

Subject: [IMail Forum] Monitor the SMTPD
Sensitivity: Personal
Hi,
we have change our port number of the smtpd32 process to 1125. Yhis is done
because we are using an e-mail virus scanner. everything is working fine so
far. The only thing that's having a problem is the monitor system. It's
showing TCP-1 is the status page of the webadmin module.
Is this a known problem and is there a possible solution for the (problem).
Grtz,
Ron
