I have now reached the stage where my hotmail and gmail accounts are collected onto the server and made availiable via IMAP. This has not been without problems, I [...]

I have at long last done a little more work on the mailserver project. The latest thing to report is the addition of dspam to filter out spam. In addition to this clamAV is also integrated. The next step will be to do some more testing and then plug in another application which should make [...]

In the past few weeks I purchased some new Anti-virus and Firewall software from ESET to replace my expiring & bloated AVG install. The first machine to get the upgrade was my XP desktop machine; everything went well. I was impressed with the lighter feel to the software and the added fact that it didn’t [...]
