Seems to be quite a good business in this regard from what you're saying :)
I was always wondering where Swisscom/UPC/etc are throwing away their
stuff as they have quite a lot of equipments.

[swinog] Offtopic: Servers that companies throw out? :)

2016-09-12 Diskussionsfäden Mihai Tanasescu

Hi guys,

I am shooting an offtopic, wild question.. though I kind of guess what the 
answers might be.

Where are the big companies recycling / throwing away their servers?
I am looking to build a mini lab for playing with various stuff ranging 
from Cisco Virl to VMware NSX and I also have to my luck a place to rack 
equipment free of charge with me only paying for electricity.
The only missing piece is a server with enough RAM and I was looking into 
cheaper alternatives (already looked in ricardo and ebay but was wondering 
where companies throw their older tech).


Can someone please enlighten me?

Cheers,
Mihai

Hi all.

 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3508857

 did anyone test this for Swiss operators?

Since I have an O2 (Germany) prepaid card which I use for mobile
Internet access when in Germany:

Are O2 UK and O2 Germany different companies just operating
under the same brand?


The O2 brand is owned by Telefonica...




Hi all,

And the article about it here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16725531

seems it was only UK related.

Perhaps it takes a greater intellectual spiritual presence for that:)

 One would think the above instructions are quite clear.

 You signed up one day using that interface, thus it should not be too
 difficult to read the above and unsubscribe yourself ;)

 Greets,

Re: [swinog] Anti-virus solution for Linux mail server

Hi there

We're a small Swiss hosting provider. Currently we host over 4000 IMAP mail 
accounts on Debian Linux mail servers 
(Postfix/Amavis/Spamassassin/ClamAV/Cyrus). As anti-virus solution we are using 
ClamAV over Amavis (amavisd-new) at the SMTP level.

We are looking for a more professional anti-virus solution and would like to 
add another anti-virus engine

At an ISP I used to work at (BIT in the Netherlands) we had four
scanners on every e-mail: clam, f-prot, sophos and mcafee. All of
these ran under Linux and from amavisd. After I left I think perhaps
that BIT dropped one or more of those, but in my experience there
really were (long tail) virusses that were caught by each engine
separately and uniquely so there was benefit to having more than one
scanner.

I don't know much about licensing costs, but would offer that this is
largely a game of 'being the persuasive customer' when it comes to
bulk licensing.

groet,
Pim

I'm gonna add my 2 cents here also...
Why not try Bitdefender ?
Here (in Romania) companies which are mostly medium size are using it 
without major problems.
In the past some years ago there were implementation issues or processes 
hanging but I think it's quite stable at present.

Please don't start a flame on this :)
Also I don't know the pricing model and if it fits your budget.

Cheers,
Mihai
