The way this is handled in Finland that each isp has one outgoing SMTP-relay server that you have to use, you can't send the mail directly out. You can receive all the mail you want but the outgoing pipe has restrictions to prevent open/miss-configured servers, works great. (I have my own mail server with such arrangement on a static IP)
If you are a ISP I would suggest a similar arrangement to prevent all your customers sending spam
The machines seem to be the database back-ends, and most of the large scale commercial billing/accounting/whatever applications like SAP want to have a unix backend. The users were probably all using windows workstations and windows apps that just communicate with the back-ends.
My experiences of abit boards are nothing less of horrible. For example the AB9 Pro motherboard's bios didn't use ACHI or left a whole sata-controller uninitialized depending on the version.
So good riddance, where can I get my lost hair back?
What an asshole.I am prepared to fight and die for my cause. I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection.
You might ask yourselves, why did I do this and what do I want. Well, most of you are too arrogant and closed-minded to understand... You will proprably say me that I am"insane", "crazy", "psychopath", "criminal" or crap like that. No, the truth is that I am just an animl, a human, an individual, a dissident.
