Well I've never worked with any MAILER-DAEMONS other then Sendmail. I've
read about vulnerabilites of this daemon. And the fact that it comes
default with most Linuxs' doesn't make it that challenging to install.
Qmail is much more secure, I have found to date, and I really enjoy
knowing I can do this. Now I am working on learning about mail in
general and mailing lists and what not. I now work as a full time
Network Administrator so I can utilize the skills that I've been
learning.

| While that sounds fun, you are making sense, so I guess I can't ;-)

Just one, please!

| % I couldn't verify your key on pgpkeys.mit.edu
|
| You know, I never really know where my keys are. It goes back to that
| "pick a keyserver" thread recently, but I haven't yet gotten any real
| answers (or I would have summarized).
|
| Anyway, you can get my key from my web page at
|
| http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/code.pgp.html
|
| (the top one) if nowhere else. I think I'm at wwwkeys.us.pgp.net as
| well, though.

|
| %
| % did you read of the pgp issue on slashdot???
|
| Yep; sure did. If you haven't yet, surf over to
|
| http://senderek.de/security/key-experiments.html
|
| and check out the [long but interesting] paper. The spoiler: any keys
| except good old RSA keys such as those generated by pgp2 (not even good
| new RSA keys!) are subject to attack. Bleah. And I wouldn't mind so
| much if I could just get GPG to handle RSA keys; I suppose that will be a
| lot easier in six weeks or so.
