OK, here's something FreeBSD-specific we ought to do. Let's make up a FreeBSD package that installs John Hardin's e-mail sanitizing filters with some sane default settings that kill the Melissa virus. John's filters can be found at ftp://ftp.rubyriver.com/pub/jhardin/antispam/procmail-kit.html All we need to do is tweak the paths for FreeBSD, bring in procmail as a dependency, and tell the user how to configure Sendmail to use procmail as the local delivery agent. This would be something that could be touted as an advantage of using FreeBSD as a mail server. Of course, I'll probably be told that this is a bad idea because Jordan didn't think of it. --Brett Glass At 01:47 PM 3/29/99 -0800, patl@phoenix.volant.org wrote: >> And mind you, the two of you may sit in your own private heavens, >> but many of the rest of us work in the real world.
