Re: Solaris vs. Linux vs. FreeBSD

 Actually, Linux and FreeBSD are the systems of choice in startup porn
 companies because of their low cost.  Once a company begins to move
 major traffic they find that low cost systems have too many
 limitations to handle what the leaders of the company want to do.
 This is when they use their new found wealth to buy Solaris.

Oh, give me a BREAK. What, do you work for Sun?

If you want to troll, may I suggest Lake Ontario, with 4 shiners, for
good salmon fishing.

Re: Oops,I guess Sendmail wasn't secure after all...

2001-06-01 Thread List Monkey

 I like sendmail, its slow - yes, but it is powerful and this silly
 bugs are fixed fast. Its just some C-Code, everyone knows this.

Yeah, it is only a few hundred thousand lines of code, and you should have
looked through it for bugs or exploits before you compiled it, right?  It
is just some C code, so you checked it out and fixed these bugs even
before they were posted on bugtraq, right?  I am glad that someone else is
intimately familiar with the various bugs/incompatibilities with the
various standard C libraries, OS differences regarding race conditions,
etc.

Please post a URL to your reviewed  commented sendmail source.

If you bought (OK, got for free) a car, and it exploded, leaving you
burned, then you waited a week to get a new car mailed to you, then you
drove it a month, it exploded again.repeat for 15+ years.would you
not think of maybe trying a different free car? 

Is anyone offering a bounty on trolls?

Huge Maildirs?

2001-05-03 Thread List Monkey

Does anyone have experience with HUGE Maildir's?  I have an account that
is subscribed to a lot of high traffic mailing lists (like this one), and
I want to keep all the messages on my server.

I have seen grumblings, but no concrete info, on what may happen when your
Maildir contains 10,000 or 100,000 or 1,000,000 messages?

I am running 2.2.* Linux

Thanks.
