Hi All,

Just to throw in my usual plug of QMail :-)

Seriously though, I'd look to run QMail or Postfix over Sendmail
anyday - even if it's just a small rig for personal use.

Certainly substantially less known holes in those two systems than
Sendmail!

Squid is a doddle to setup, especially if you're installing RPMs or
.debs

Firewall wise, paranoid is the name of the game. Deny everything, and
go from there.

Whoever it was that mentioned having problems with lots of pings and
DNS querys being listed in the IPtables logs, I believe it is quite
easy to have a limit rule before a log target to prevent log flooding
- see netfilter.samba.org.

Cheers,

Baz.
