| Upgrade the ssh too. OpenSSH seems to have a bug, but Theo has just said

openssh upgraded to 3.3

| Stop using pop3. Use pop3s. Similar for SMTP. Though you use postfix
| and should not need to bother about TLS yet. gpg is a good thing though.
| ldaps. imaps. stunnel for mysql, unless you need it only on localhost
| and in that case don't have it listening on the  TCP port.

i once tried to use pop3s with gmx.net. in fact, they offer pop3s. And i
found a considerable difference in the speed of the mail being downloaded
from the pop3 server.

imaps i can manage
where do i get info on ldaps and stunnel.

| Note that no firewalling rules were specified. Packet filtering
| firewalls are for logging purposes only and you need to bother about
| those iff you actually read your logs.
|

i would be using iptables, to
block icmp requests
and packet spoofing to escape the Denial of service attack.
