Do you get a lot of spam? Do you get a lot of newsletters or other e-mails with images? Many spam and newsletter mailings contain images, both visible and invisible (small one pixel images used to track and/or verify if an e-mail has been viewed). You likely have Evolution set to display images so it's going out and trying to download all the images in the e-mails. A better option is to turn that off by default and enable it for individual images. That's what I do. On the menu bar go to Tools>Settings and go to Mail Preferences>HTML Mail. Select either "Never load images off the net" which is my preference, or "Load images if sender is in addressbook" so that you can receive HTML images from those you choose. I'm sure you'll see a sudden dropoff in connections as well as not automatically letting spammers know you're alive. Hope this helps, Kourosh -- Kourosh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

For example 205.156.51 is owned by NOAA. My previous mail still holds for some of the traffic but the summary page updates are also part of it. 205.156.51.200 is a National Weather Service page 206.14.209.40 is Salon.com 63.236.73.20 is Linux Today Regards, Kourosh -- Kourosh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: postfix in qmail out proftpd in pureftpd
Ivan, There are .debs for qmail. The debs are not official because qmail apparently doesn't adhere to Debain Policy. The .debs can be found at http://smarden.org/pape/Debian I don't know about pureftpd so can't comment. =) Regards.

Apparently DJB, the author of qmail and other tools, has a license that doesn't allow distribution of modified packages. Since the software DJB writes doesn't adhere to the FHS, i.e. certain files are kept in places other than where the FHS would put them, the software can't be distributed as an official .deb. That's my understanding of it. There have been numerous discussions about this on the qmail lists and other places and I'm sure if you did a Google search you'll probably find plenty of them. For more qmail info, inlcuding links to the .deb page, go to www.qmail.org. Regards. Kourosh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
