[TriLUG] status of email

[Jon Carnes]

I can download the latest cooker and put it on there.  If that is cool with 
everyone...  Once it's up and running with Secure Shell on it (and tested 
to repeal all un-authorized boarders).  I can slam it into the Inflow 
Co-local and give folks accounts...

Maybe Sinner could scan it for us and look for anything that needs to be 
patched or closed?

Then someone volunteered to put IMP up on it...  I would love to have HTTP 
or HTTPS access to the mail on it.  Mandrake should give us Apache with SSL 
- using a self-signed Cert.

Thanks Andrew,

Jon
