A site I've been working with is considering obtaining a UUCP e-mail feed
so that they can e-mail to/fro the world. Myself and several others have
been strongly encouraging this. This is new territory for the company
though, so they are cautious. They are concerned that they are opening
themselves up to some level of danger, point to the Morris worm of a couple
years ago as an example.
These are open minded and intelligent people, but they want more than just
my word that they really are not that much in danger. What documents can
I bring down from the net to help validate my argument? My spin is that
their greatest danger is themselves; bringing in and casually running things.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
