Thanks Benjie.
The N145+ was left on charge all last night and it seems a lot better
for it!

Hi Guys,

Very likely; that was 8 years ago.

The slow server day was also the very day that I finally gave up on
courtesy bounces.
Bounces are not a courtesy; they are a significant part of the spam problem.
If you don't want an email *reject* it. Do not take it from the proffering

Sadly that's true.
Once upon a time, e-mail was either delivered or bounced and

There are pros and cons for both OpenVPN and IPSec.
There is a huge downside for IPSec if you're running stuff behind a NAT
