While I appreciate that you (were) in a dire situation, this
is not the appropriate place to ask these questions.
QPopper is a pop server. The list for it is NOT a place asking
anti-virus questions (it just delivers the mail to the user;
banning Outbreak will stop almost all of your email borne
virii).
QPopper is a pop server. The list for it is NOT a place asking
Solaris questions.
If you need Solaris help, then your staff should be trained
to handle it. If you don't HAVE staff, then there are several
lists that ARE appropriate. Google is good as well. I can
find several Seattle based consultants as well.
If that's too much, then turn off the Unix machines.
You were in dire need. That's still not an excuse to abuse
the list.
Were I to lose my hotel room in Seattle, I would NOT expect
to be allowed to post "EMERG: anyone know an available hotel"
because I know there are people in the Seattle area on this
list. Nor would I call 911. It's an inappropriate use of
resources.
FURTHERMORE: useful subjects will enhance even more. "Emergency
Question" is not considered a useful subject line.
The penalties become that, as on other lists, there are users
I just ignore because they are usually irrelevent or rarely
do anyone basic homework. Others on the list along with myself,
all of whom have a fair expertise, just delete these users'
mail unread. Why bother - I have 500 new messages to get
through and they are fairly considered noise.
I'm sorry if this makes you feel bad, but it's one of several
messages from you that don't ask questions with useful information
("I'm in ssl only, how do I fix it" - but no clue as to how
you have it set now).
On solaris (or any unix), you know the ip address:
find /etc -type f |xargs grep $IPADDRESS
and it will show the files that contain that IP.
