                             Defending Against SPAM
                        --------------------------------

                            Monday, March 9, 7-9 pm
                                 Corollary Inc

SPAM - unsolicited and unwelcome commercial email - has become a major
problem for anyone connected to the public network. But Unix provides
some excellent defenses against SPAM for those who take the trouble to
learn them and to use them.

At the UUASC March meeting, member Matt Bartley will share what he has
learned about defenses against junk email. This will include setting up
email filtering with procmail (also useful for handling mailing list
traffic), blocking rogue sites at the sendmail level, using the realtime
blackhole list (RBL), and configuring sendmail 8.x to no longer be
vulnerable to SPAM relaying. Matt will also offer some advice for hunting
down SPAMmers and sending complaints to their ISPs.

The UUASC is for all persons using Unix either personally or professionally,
or interested in learning more about Unix. We recognize all varieties of
Unix, including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, and OSF.
This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden your
skills and knowledge. Generally, meetings include a technical presentation
on a hardware or software topic of current interest to the Unix community
and a round-table discussion of current topics of interest to the group.
We are always looking for interesting presentations and your suggestions
are most welcome.

Please join us this month and bring along your friends or co-workers. Also,
please forward this announcement to others who may be interested and feel
free to post it on BBSs, both electronic and physical. If you receive more
than one announcement by email, please let us know so we can keep our lists
current. Thanks for listening.
