#0 - ISP's hosting hundreds of domains should not run sendmail

#1 - spam/bot/nets must DIE

#3 - Courier-MTA Rocks!

#4 - When I can bring a server running a load of 8+ to under 1, with under 100 lines of bad circa 2002 perl code.. adding iptables rules from parsing /var/log/maillog.. the spam-load out there is insane.

#5 - Did I mention Courier-MTA Rocks! - partially 'cause my (servers I built) servers (one at a moderate cable company/ISP) don't have these issues.. it denies all the invalid e-mail from the start.. partially cause the server load is negligable even when loaded.

#6 - I hope his check clears..

#7 - it's time for sendmail to fade away.. why does RedHat still include it?

#8 - I hope his check clears..

#9 - and a plug for: BlackHoles.us whome makes it possible to just make countries dissappear from the mail server.

Oops: Uh.. #2: The amazing thing is that people whom can barely spell sendmail and apache, can run 1 person web hosting companies with thousands of customers. On the good side, they pay people like me as mercenaries.
