You did update, did not you?
oh, yes, of course, but, was that a one timer or repeat? Snedmail/ftp
used to be things like bind that had to be watched daily, now days it is
openssh/openssl and others, and if yer in the M$ world, yer updating
things that the *nix workd learned ten yearts bask with rcp and such. So,
these are not fix once and forget kinds of issues.
e-mail was meant to push text, plain and simple, what makes things complex
tends to make things not function ass we as or even at all like they were
intended. And html and ports 80/443 are the scourge of security admins
these days, everything gets pushed over those ports and is near impossible
to control in any reasonable manner. besides, some of the poorer mua's
folks use and use in public lists like this tend to push html in ishy ways
that makes my reading pleasure not...those folks I just tend to not read,
and perhaps miss something that might be interesting or inportant, but, I
just don't have the time to wsate trying to fix the crap that those mua's
pushout...
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne
