thanks Andre,

I'm unfamiliar with many of your tests.

However I went to the URL above and saw the results. We have about a dozen fails 
because our(?) DNS server was not accessible. I have no idea how serious this 
is.

As a control, I ran the IP on the outside of my home NAT router (a 486 Linux 
box), to find much the same results (DNS failures) (I don't expect my router's 
IP is listed in any DNS). I don't have any low ports open. So pilot has about 
the same score as a router showing no services.

I assume the person/people running the e-mail here are doing it as a kind 
service to the club members and probably only getting the occassional pat on the 
back for it. I assume, once they've set the machine up, they hope that it just 
doesn't break and that no-one's doing anything bad with it.

So thanks guys, whoever you are.

If you need help, I'm prepared to put some kbd time into finding the problem.
I like having trilug.org as a mailserver and would be happy to pay back 
something for the resource.

Thanks

Joe
