-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All,
We're now running a little pentium box in the office as a mailserver running sendmail. its running potato with the security.debian.org upgrades, all packages installed via apt-get, its pretty much a base install with sendmail, perl, dnsutils and sysutils added. a few questions: a) are there any further security precautions we should take? our IP block from the telco is frequently scanned by unpleasant people. b) the default mailq time on sendmail was 10 minutes, we've shortened that to 2 minutes. Is the 10 minute default arbitrary or there for a good reason? c) for the record would anyone like to take this opportunity to tell me why exim would be prefereable to sendmail? Thanks for your time, John -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0 iQA/AwUBOgZJ3dw8Sd3Rlz0HEQI2WACguQ7We+RT+VW5/YCcf/ibH2ZVDR4Amwe4 mk5B7L+fk87dprkqccBrJacm =Txw/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
