[geeks] AAAAAAAAGH! Spammers on the loose!

[Ken Hansen]

Oh Pete, be happy - You'll be famous!

I know I always look forward to mail from you, and now I will get more of
it! ;^)

(Who was amazed that the HP-UX 10.20 box I "threw-up" this weekend had a
mailserver that just *worked* - with zero effort on mypart I just sent email
to my dynamic DNS URL and it got to me, then outbound mail worked just as
well...

Amazing.

I thought email server config was hard... Of course, since this is a default
vendor install from a 4 year old OS, I am sure it is *quite* secure!)
