[snipped mail logs showing attempts to spamify me...sans rice] Thanks Mike, Florian, et al. for the helpful advice! It was nice to be able to actually block the IP of the sender. I'd never been able to get it to work with RH6.x setup, got frustrated and gave up. I'm trying to learn more about various options for mail setup/retrieval and the discussion on the list has had some good info. * Warren, you mentioned IMAP as a viable option. A loooong time ago with my first slackware setup I enjoyed IMAP because I could leave my folders on my server (unlimited space). I was warned that IMAP was a security risk and wasn't very private. -- Is it very complicated to set up IMAP to operate in a secure fashion? IE. be able to use Outlook Express from my work assigned laptop and have access to my mail folders remotely? (I an old skool PINEr myself when logged locally or through SSH). -- It sounds like squirrel mail would be a viable web alternative for when I'm using someone else's machine to read mail. Is it correct to assume that making this secure would be dependent upon getting SSL to work on the web server? (The squirrel mail setup link on mplug doesn't appear to work anymore http://www2.linuxjournal.com/articles/sysadmin/0064.html) * Config Question - I've got a tough nut to crack. I had found some old tutorials on doing this from a guy in Germany a year or so ago that had good instruction on putting together Apache/PHP/mySQL/SSL/ AND *yikes* FrontPage Server extensions. Recent searches on google don't turn up the dudes pages anymore (I should saved the link or files, and I've lost my printout with notes). Has anyone seen any good how-to/tutorials on doing a FrontPage enabled LAMP setup with RH7.3? Barring that, a step-by-step on doing a LAMP setup? (hopefully that explains what is being done as opposed to just being a checklist). Again, thanks guys for the past info. I'm writing notes on this particular setup and if others are interested would be happy to post it to the mplug wiki so others can benefit from my bruises. :) Aloha, Sharky
