  • Sounds like you have qmail at the root. I ran that with spamassassin, barracuda and some other custom rules for years. Didn’t add on the auto response you have described, but really liked it back in the day.

    Did I guess kinda close to what you have running?

    I’d think the annoying part would be that you’ve forced the work to prove they are human back on the sender. Might be a good way to go though given how much spam there is.







  • Reminds me of an apartment I used to live in where there was a completely open wifi with an open and shared RW hard drive from the root on the network. I left them a post it note and slipped a card under the door a week or so later without them making any change. Finally printed their resume to their own printer with added massive text in the middle saying something like “for your sake you need to stop sharing everything in the network!”

    It was gone within a day. In my head they unplugged it all in a panic. =)












  • That’s awesome. Reminds me of having to tell an SVP that yes, per his demand, I did take his request to keep sharing music online illegally at work. He didnt seem to accept that the legal letters the form received meant he needed to change anything.

    What could have been an ‘oh shit, my bad’ and noone has to know - turned into the entire leadership weighed in to direct me to delete the files and tools and be very clear he was putting his employment at risk.

    The poor man’s ego. He seemed to think the IT guy didn’t have the ability to speak to him like that. Even insisted I tell him in front of two of his staff as a power play
