I suspect virus, spam and other unwanted features can be pretty disruptive on a busy mailing list

lmao! You know- now that you mention it we have been having alot of virus alerts lately. I work for a HUGE pc company and yes we use outlook. It sucks- it really does.

Anyway........I was glad to see this post, I hadn't seen anything for free that seemed really worthwhile. IMHO it would be very wise to get some Linux education asap because more and more the big companies are looking @ NIX and seeing how much they can save dollar wise, not to mention real security. Yeah sure if we want the desktop users we need bells and whistles but I think that as soon as the Fortune 500 companies start using NIX then it's all over but the cryin'. Anyone ever embarked on any of the OReilly courses? U of Illinois I believe- apparently a pretty good school.
