Hi,
a while back, we had quite some discussion about blocking of port 25
traffic by ISPs.
If you look at last night's Slashdot article "Comcast Port 25 Blocks
Result In Less Spam", I guess you'll understand better why ISPs do
such a thing - and that it is indeed a good thing (tm).

Provider mail servers are meant to be used to send your mail, whatever
the from email address is, because many mail providers _don't_ even have
smtp servers (at least in the past). I always send all my emails
through the service provider's smtp server I'm currently connected to.

As long as the email is not digitally signed, you can never be sure who
sent you the email, and you shouldn't really rely on the outgoing mail
server.... (hint: check this email's mail server)

In order that an email is send, data has to be exchanged between both
participating parties.... To my knowledge, if you spoof your ip address,
no data gets back to you, so you get no TCP connection to the server.

Well, maybe in a 100 years..... ;)

Hi all,
I have successfully installed Slackware on both my test machine and my
laptop. My test machine has a parallel Windows partition, and my laptop
used to be running Windows.
However, I have the impression that on both machines, the quality of the
graphical image (under KDE) is not as good as with Windows on exactly
the same hardware.
My basic question is: what is the most likely cause:
-1- the fonts used -> i.e. would using the Windows TTF fonts make a
large difference ?
-2- the configuration for the monitor? For the desktop, I have put into
xorg.conf the values I found in my monitor's book; for the laptop, I
couldn't find the information yet so I left the defaults.
-3- the graphics card driver? The desktop has a ATI Radeon 7500, and I
use the X.org "radeon" driver. For the laptop, I ended up using "vesa",
short of anything specific available for an ATI 3D Rage LT Pro.
Any hints are welcome.

Hi,
I just stumbled upon some german documentation for fwbuilder:
http://kris.koehntopp.de/artikel/fwbuilder/
That presentation is also available as PDF.
In case you want to configure some iptables packet filtering,
without learning all the iptables details... it's a nice
somewhat CheckPoint-like GUI.

Hello
I'm looking for a little prog, that shos me network traffic like this little
monitor in W2k (Excuse for the misword). Something like an applet in KDE to
show in Panel if there is network traffic, nothing else (Sthg like xnettload,
more or less for KDE).

Hi,
for those interested in all (ok, many) aspects of networking
with Linux, and who'd like some german documentation - have
a look at the current special edition of Linux Magazin
"network edition".
It comes with a Debian 3.1 Sarge DVD, features articles on
networking services, physical interfaces, monitoring etc.
http://www.linux-magazin.de/Produkte/lms_2004_3.html
I got myself a copy (online order from friday, came today),
I'll bring it to tomorrow's meeting in case someone wants
to check it out.
Greetings, Eric
