He began working as a freelance Web Designer in 1996 and had his first experience with open source, a box copy of Red Hat 5.2, shortly after in 1999. After six years and as many versions of Red Hat, he now creates appealing web pages and devises solutions implementing high availability through clustering and alternate security models. He founded Aderes (http://www.aderes.net) in 2001, a company that provides e-mail and web-based security solutions. His search for an appropriate Webmail Platform for the company led him to SquirrelMail. Initially managing all aspects of the business—from the technical concerns to customer support—gave him the experience that he now contributes to the Webmail chapter of this book. David has studied both, Information Sciences and Technology (IST) and Management Information Systems (MIS) at the Pennsylvania State University.

    Resurrect Your Old PC

    Resurrect your old PCs Resurrect your old PC Nostalgic for your old beige boxes? Don’t let them gather dust! Proprietary OSes force users to upgrade hardware much sooner than necessary: Neil Bothwick highlights some great ways to make your pensioned-off PCs earn their keep. ardware performance is constantly improving, and it is only natural to want the best, so we upgrade our H system from time to time and leave the old ones behind, considering them obsolete. But you don’t usually need the latest and greatest, it was only a few years ago that people were running perfectly usable systems on 500MHz CPUs and drooling over the prospect that a 1GHz CPU might actually be available quite soon. I can imagine someone writing a similar article, ten years from now, about what to do with that slow, old 4GHz eight-core system that is now gathering dust. That’s what we aim to do here, show you how you can put that old hardware to good use instead of consigning it to the scrapheap. So what are we talking about when we say older computers? The sort of spec that was popular around the turn of the century. OK, while that may be true, it does make it seem like we are talking about really old hardware. A typical entry-level machine from six or seven years ago would have had something like an 800MHz processor, Pentium 3 or similar, 128MB of RAM and a 20- 30GB hard disk. The test rig used for testing most of the software we will discuss is actually slightly lower spec, it has a 700MHz Celeron processor, because that’s what I found in the pile of computer gear I never throw away in my loft, right next to my faithful old – but non-functioning – Amiga 4000.

FIRST, members must not supply CFIC with their company email addresses. That is, companies that they work for. (If you own the company, that's different.) All email on a company's server can be read by any supervisor. All it takes is one pro vaccine activist to get hold of our mobilization alerts to throw a monkey wrench in all of our efforts. Thus, do not supply me with a company email address. We can help you get an alternative to that if necesary. SECONDLY, CFIC needs members' email addresses to supply important information to mobilize parents to do things that advances our goal to enact our legislative reforms of the exemptions from vaccination. That has always been CFIC's sole agenda. CFIC has been able to keep the membership fee to zero because we don't communicate via snail mail. But people change their addresses frequently and forget to update CFIC. When this happens over the years, that member is essentually blind and deaf to us, and is no longer of any value to the coalition---your fellow parents. Therefore, it warrants me to require that members supply CFIC with their most permanent email account. That means the email address of the company in which you are paying a monthly fee for internet access, be it broadband or dialup service.

    Toward an Automated Vulnerability Comparison of Open Source IMAP Servers Chaos Golubitsky – Carnegie Mellon University

    Toward an Automated Vulnerability Comparison of Open Source IMAP Servers Chaos Golubitsky – Carnegie Mellon University ABSTRACT The attack surface concept provides a means of discussing the susceptibility of software to as-yet-unknown attacks. A system’s attack surface encompasses the methods the system makes available to an attacker, and the system resources which can be used to further an attack. A measurement of the size of the attack surface could be used to compare the security of multiple systems which perform the same function. The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) has been in existence for over a decade. Relative to HTTP or SMTP, IMAP is a niche protocol, but IMAP servers are widely deployed nonetheless. There are three popular open source UNIX IMAP servers – UW-IMAP, Cyrus, and Courier-IMAP – and there has not been a formal security comparison between them. In this paper, I use attack surfaces to compare the relative security risks posed by these three products. I undertake this evaluation in service of two complementary goals: to provide an honest examination of the security postures and risks of the three servers, and to advance the study of attack surfaces by performing an automated attack surface measurement using a methodology based on counting entry and exit points in the code. Introduction Contributions and Roadmap System administrators frequently confront the The paper makes two major contributions. First, problem of selecting a software package to perform a I undertake an in-depth discussion of the relative secu- desired function. Many considerations affect this deci- rity postures of the three major open source IMAP sion, including functionality, ease of installation, soft- servers in use today.

    Persistent E-Mail Identification Is Viable!

    Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA 2014) Persistent e-mail identification is viable! Stefan Haun and Andreas N¨urnberger Data and Knowledge Engineering Group, Faculty of Computer Science, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, Germany http://www.dke.ovgu.de Abstract. Persistent identification of entities in Personal Information Management (PIM) is necessary to enable stable, long-term references in archives and semantic applications. In the case of e-mails, the standard offers Message-IDs (MID), which are widely deployed. However, stores do not use the MID but rather rely on a path, which is likely to change, to refer to e-mails and thus do not offer a stable identification. We show that MIDs are viable to identify and retrieve e-mails from an IMAP store in real-world scenarios. The presented concept can be integrated into any store, but we also offer a software solution that serves as an additional layer above the store and allows real-time access over MID. We propose a validation method to prove that the concept is working and some applications that are enabled by e-mail identification are sketched. 1 Introduction Sending e-mails has long replaced traditional letters, especially in the business and research context. Being digital, e-mails can be easily stored and accessed from different locations, building up large archives as part of the personal infor- mation managed by each user. Although a central element of communication, e-mails are still tied to special software, the Mail User Agent, instead of being integrated into the overall workflow.

The main commercial support (and development funding) is available from Canonical, Ltd. They supply reasonably- priced support contracts on a per desktop or per-server basis. For more information see the Ubuntu Advantage page. Community support is also provided by dedicated individuals and companies that wish to make Ubuntu the best distribution possible. Support is provided through multiple mailing lists, IRC channels, forums, blogs, wikis, etc. The large amount of information available can be overwhelming, but a good search engine query can usually provide an answer to your questions.
