Better story editing by the slashdot staff and a "Spam" moderation option so we can instantly filter out the automated bot posts trying to sell knock off electronics and other assorted crap.
Apart from that, I'm happy as Larry.
lol keep digging
Lol true. In the UK Stella Artois is referred to as "wife beater"
In the UK at least I believe there are anti-ticket taut regulations to try and stop exactly that.
As North Korea says, you are mistaken.
If you can't afford Cisco, it's Draytek all the way!
Always puzzles me why they don't get more love.
Get a VPS (from e.g. Linode) and:
1). Install postfix (fantastically efficient, excellent documentation, mailing lists and security track record). Postfix will handle any mail setup you care to dream up.
2). Install dovecot (this is now the reference daemon for modern IMAP and POP on linux)
3). Install Spam Assassin and ClamAV for spam and anti-virus (they will do a good job but not as good as what you are used to with gmail)
4). Install Roundcube for webmail (currently the best looking floss web frontend for mail)
5). Install open dkim and get it to sign all your outgoing mail (make sure to add the relevant DKIM TXT records to your domains)
6). Add SPF records to all your domains
7). Make sure your server's IP has reverse dns setup.
8). DO NOT run your mail server off your home DSL line as the IP (even if static) will be in all sorts of block lists. Hence the suggestion to get yourself a VPS.
Once you have everything setup, the system will need very little maintenance apart from Spam Assassin and ClamAV.
Finally, you can get away with not having a secondary mx as the senders MTA will re-try periodically if your primary is down. However, if you want a secondary, you can outsource this to a number of third parties for not a lot of cost.
Enjoy, running your own mta can actually be quite fun

Hi Jim
I'm quite a few timezones East of you, meaning the live stream will start at 0300 local on Wednesday for me. I'm willing to tough it out and stay up to watch it if necessary but it would be much more civilised if I could watch a playback. Will it be available for download later or is it live only?
It sucks I've only just learnt about geeksessions
Each to their own but I find quite a few of their featured articles worth the read (and their forums have been and still are great)
Not trivial for average joe true but the collaboration requirement is easily fixed by renting a cheap VPS somewhere.
I second Draytek - they are awesome
Ars is still doing ok....
Don't forget Verisigns also charge a wholesale fee of $7.34 as the administrator of the
