about 80% of all problems we run into with networks are either wiring related: cables, tacky mod plug ends and other trash that wont pas a Penta or Fluke test. Or cheap hubs, switches and Routers. Most places we go into the computer room or space is just like the phone room, No room at all. Look up and sprinkler heads over the servers. "Do you guys back up?" Sure!!! Where are the backup tapes or disks??? Right by the server under the sprinkler head!!! Hello!! Wiring that looks bad usually has bad perfomance.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by squeakygeek: Uh, spam has nothing to do with whether or not the network is secure. Why don't you write a spam filter if you know so much about it? </font> REEEEALY, so what's an open-relay???? I an IT guy sets up a e-mail server but dosn't know what he's, there is an open relay (default setting for just about all unix/linux machines) This is a a mail server that was not configured properly to prevent anyone on the Internet from using it to send e-mail messages or SPAM. That's a performance issue, not a security/IT guy who doesn't understand networking issue. Gotcha ![[Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]](https://www.sundance-communications.com/forum/wink.gif)

This is true. I misunderstood the context. I thought you meant people on your network getting spam, not spam in general.

Settle down, guys. I have admitted to being wrong before on this forumn. You think I don't know what an open relay is? I could show you how to hack into one to make it look like you're sending email from any address you choose. It's an old trick.

Leave the guy alone. He installed a system without formal training or experience and that bugs the sh!$ out of you guys. If he didn't do it, some other kid would have. Instead of building bridges with IT folks your tearing them down. One day, sooner then you think it will be all IT.

The fact that he did the install does not bother the sh!$ out of us. His arrogance is what bugs me. And as far as someday being all IT....I doubt it very much...BUT, I have been wrong before...Just ask my wife, Shes like squeeky... she knows everything

Frankie:
Should I have pretended I didn't know what an open relay was and shove my foot in my mouth just to please you? What should I have said?
