Cool! Looking forward to this one! > Grant Parnell on MFilter > > Abstract coming soon. It's abount viruses and MTAs and 'stuff'. ;) Oh, guess that's a "Yes" to the question as to whether I'll be presenting this month. Here's the abstract:- Mfilter - (Mail Filter) ======= We all hate spam, we all wish Microsoft would fix their email software so viruses wouldn't be so prevalent, people just don't appreciate bandwidth costs, your company's internet link is for business, you just can't download that source code you need because you're link is chokka with email and people passing round the latest batch of porn images & movies. You can whinge about it or do something yourself. You can't ban email altogether but you can limit the crap out of it without effecting legitimate use, other than to speed it up! One of my customers was overcome with delight when I gave him the configurable version of Mfilter about 6 months ago, he'll make a good BOFH one day. > > Dinner - about 9pm > > After the meeting at the House of Boiled Television Entrails.
