This is something I'd like too, preferably Qmail related since that's what I seem to come up against most often. In particular its the "running" bit I'm interested in: how to manage the mail queue (particularly when something goes wrong), how to manage the flow of email through virus and spam checking, etc. > 4.

This month there's talk about an alternative content filter aimed at protecting kids, but I don't have the mag to hand to tell you what it was. Sounds much simpler than DG to configure though. > 5. Explanation of the Linux boot sequence and how to exploit that MJR had a talk on this, which he went through some months back; it would be good to hear that again.
