I am getting ready to replace an aging FTP server with an OpenBSD 4.0 server. The old server runs OpenBSD 3.6 and has always worked beautifully. Now, while setting up and testing the new OpenBSD 4.0 server I am having some issues. I am using the exact same setup as I did on the 3.6 server. Here

Email server and large Emails.

I have FINALLY been allowed to schedule time to replace the aging mail server. Currently, it is running OpenBSD 3.7, with sendmail, smtp-vilter, and clamav. This is our internal mail server and it uses fetchmail to get our email off of the public server and sends our email out using a smart rel

That was the basic idea. Make it cheap and easy to manufacture with loose enough tolerances that sand and dirt will just drop right through rather than gumming up the works. Most of them rattle terribly when you shake them, but they tend to be more reliable than US made M16s when conditions get r
